Go forth on wings of fervent [faith and] prayer

Verse 1

Go forth on wings of faith and pray'r, Ye pages bright with love; Tho' mute, the joyful tidings bear, Salvation from above.

Chorus

Silent messengers, go ye forth, From ocean to ocean, from South to North; Seed of the word, it shall not be sown in vain.

Verse 2

Go, tell the sinful, careless soul, The warning God has giv'n; Go, make the wounded spirit whole, With healing balm from heav'n.

Verse 3

Go to the rude, the dark, the poor, That live estranged from God; Bid them the pearl of life secure, Bo't with a Saviour's blood.

Verse 4

O Jesus, friend of dying men, Thy presence we implore; Without thy blessing all is vain; Be with us evermore.
