THE MISSIONARY.
Go, messenger from realms on high!
On wings of love thy mission bear;
To earth's remotest regions fly,
And plant thy sacred banner there.
On wings of love thy mission bear;
To earth's remotest regions fly,
And plant thy sacred banner there.
The red cross wave o'er Afric's sands,
And bid her swarthy natives know
Their great Creator's mild commands,
And at the name of Jesus bow.
And bid her swarthy natives know
Their great Creator's mild commands,
And at the name of Jesus bow.
The red cross wave o'er India's soil,
O'er Ganges' waters raise it high;
The Hindoo, worn with heat and toil,
Shall to its grateful shadow fly.
O'er Ganges' waters raise it high;
The Hindoo, worn with heat and toil,
Shall to its grateful shadow fly.
