Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. Go, ye messengers of heaven, Chosen by divine command; Go and publish free salvation To a dark, benighted land.
2. Go to island, vale, and mountain; There fulfill the great command; Gather out the sons of Jacob To possess the promised land.
3. When your thousands all are gathered, And their prayers for you ascend, And the Lord has crowned with blessings All the labors of your hand,
4. Then the song of joy and transport Will from ev’ry land resound; Then the nations long in darkness By the Savior will be crowned.
