Primary Scripture: Isaiah 62:6

Verse 1

Ye Christian heralds, go proclaim salvation through Emmanuel's name! to distant climes the tidings bear, and plant the Rose of Sharon there.

Verse 2

God shield you with a wall of fire, with flaming seal your breasts inspire, bid raging winds their fury cease, and hush the tempests into peace.

Verse 3

And when our labors all are o'er, then we shall meet to part no more; meet with the blood-bought throng to fall and crown our Jesus Lord of all.
