Heralds of the light, be swift

 

1.Heralds of the light, be swift, haste your going;
Shatter the fetters of night.
Peoples still without the truth wait unknowing.
Beam forth the Gospel of Light.

Refrain Heralds of Light, speed away!
Let shine the bright Gospel ray.
End the night of sin, Let the brightness in!
Heralds of light, speed the day.

2.Do the work of God, with power of His giving;
He your Companion will prove.
Tell the love of God for all people living.
Beam forth the Gospel of Love.

3.Bear the truth of God, the fire of His altar;
Faint not in age or in youth.
Crossing seas and mountains, rest not, nor falter.
Beam forth the Gospel of Truth.

4.North and South and East and West, go, obeying,
God your support in the strife.
For the dead and blind in sin, go forth praying.
Beam forth the Gospel of Life.
