O Zion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling,
To tell to all
the world that God is light,
That He who made all nations is
not willing
One soul should perish, lost in shades of night.
Refrain
Publish glad tidings, tidings of peace;
Tidings of Jesus, redemption and release.
Behold how many thousands still are lying
Bound in the
darksome prison house of sin,
With none to tell them of the
Savior¡¦s dying,
Or of the life He died for them to win.
Refrain
Proclaim to every people, tongue, and nation
That God, in
Whom they live and move, is love;
Tell how He stooped to save
His lost creation,
And died on earth that we might live
above.
Refrain
Give of thy sons to bear the message glorious;
Give of thy
wealth to speed them on their way;
Pour out thy soul for them
in prayer victorious;
O Zion, haste to bring the brighter
day.
Refrain
He comes again! O Zion, ere thou meet Him,
Make known to
every heart His saving grace:
Let none whom he Hath ransomed
fail to greet Him,
Through thy neglect, unfit to see His
face.
Refrain
