Men of God, go take your stations

Verse 1

Men of God, go take your stations; Darkness reigns throughout the earth: Go proclaim among the nations Joyful news of heavenly birth; Bear the tidings Of the Saviour's matchless worth.

Verse 2

Go to men in darkness sleeping, Tell that Christ is strong to save; Go to men in bondage weeping; Publish freedom to the slave: Tell the dying, Christ has triumphed o'er the grave.

Verse 3

What though earth and hell united Should oppose the Saviour's reign; Plead his cause to souls benighted; Fear ye not the face of men: Vain their tumult, Earth and hell will rage in vain.

Verse 4

When exposed to fears and dangers, Jesus will his own defend; Borne afar 'midst foes and strangers, Jesus will appear your friend, And his presence Shall be with you to the end.
