Author: Mrs. Vokes Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7853 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Go, favored Christians, and proclaim
The kind Redeemer you have found;
Publish His ever precious name
To all the wondering nations round.
2 Go, tell th’unlettered wretched slave,
Who groans beneath a tyrant’s rod,
You bring a freedom bought with blood,
The blood of an incarnate God.
3 And tell the panting sable chief,
On Ethiopia’s scorching sand,
You come with a refreshing stream
To cheer and bless his thirsty land.
4 Go tell, on India’s golden shores,
The Ganges, Tibet, and Bhoutan,
That to enrich their deathless mind
You come, the friends of God and man.
5 Tell all the distant isles afar
That lie in darkness and the grave
You come a glorious light to show,
You come their souls to seek and save.
6 Say the religion you profess
Is all benevolence and love,
And, crowned with energy divine,
Its heavenly origin will prove. Languages: English Tune Title: WINCHESTER NEW
