Author: Mary C. Gates Meter: 8.8.8.6 Appears in 60 hymnals First Line: Send Thou, O Lord, to ev'ry place Lyrics: 1 Send Thou, O Lord, to ev'ry place
Swift messengers before Thy face,
The heralds of Thy wondrous grace,
Where Thou Thyself wilt come.
2 Send men whose eyes have seen the King,
Men in whose ears His sweet words ring;
Send such Thy lost ones home to bring;
Send them where Thou wilt come,--
3 To bring good news to souls in sin,
The bruised and broken hearts to win;
In ev'ry place to bring them in
Where Thou Thyself wilt come.
4 Thou who hast died, Thy vict’ry claim;
Assert, O Christ, Thy glory’s name
And far to lands of pagan shame
Send men where Thou wilt come.
5 Gird each one with the Spirit’s Sword,
The sword of Thine own deathless Word,
And make them conquerors, conquering Lord,
Where Thou Thyself wilt come.
6 Raise up, O Lord the Holy Ghost,
From this broad land a mighty host;
Their war cry, "We will seek the lost
Where Thou, O Christ, wilt come."
Amen. Topics: The Church Missions Scripture: Romans 8:37 Used With Tune: ISLEWORTH
