The Missionary Charged and Encouraged

Verse 1

Go, messenger of peace and love, To people plunged in shades of night; Like angels sent from fields above Be thine to shed celestial light.

Verse 2

Go to the hungry, food impart; To paths of peace the wanderer guide; And lead the thirsty, panting heart Where streams of living water glide.

Verse 3

O, faint not in the day of toil; When harvest waits the reaper's hand, Go gather in the glorious spoil, And joyous in his presence stand.

Verse 4

Thy love a rich reward shall find From Him who sits enthroned on high; For they who turn the erring mind Shall shine like stars above the sky.
