219. Go Forth, Ye Heralds

1 Go forth, ye heralds, in My name,
Sweetly the gospel trumpet sound;
The glorious jubilee proclaim
Where'er the human race is found.

2 The joyful news to all impart,
And teach them where salvation lies;
With care bind up the broken heart,
And wipe the tears from weeping eyes.

3 Be wise as serpents where you go,
But harmless as the peaceful dove;
And let your heaven-taught conduct show
That you're commissioned from above.

4 Freely from Me ye have received;
Freely, in love, to others give;
Thus, shall your doctrines be believed,
And by your labors sinners live.
