Hymn 274
For my sake and the Gospel's, go
- "For my sake and the Gospel's, go
And tell Redemption's story;"
His heralds answer, "Be it so.
And Thine, Lord, all the glory!"
They preach His birth. His life. His cross.
The love of His atonement.
For who m they count the world but loss
His Easter, His enthronement.
- Hark, hark, the trump of Jubilee
Proclaims to every nation.
From pole to pole, by land and sea,
Glad tidings of salvation:
As nearer draws the day of doom.
While still the battle rages.
The heavenly Dayspring, through the gloom
Breaks on the night of ages.
- Still on and on the anthems spread
Of Hallelujah voices,
In concert with the holy dead
The warrior church rejoices;
Their snow-white robes are wash'd in blood.
Their golden harps are ringing;
Earth, and the Paradise of God,
One triumph song are singing.
- He comes, whose Advent Trumpet drowns
The last of time's evangels
Emmanuel crowned with many crowns.
The Lord of saints and angels:
O Life, Light, Love, the great I AM,
Triune, who changest never;
The Throne of God and of the Lamb
Is Thine, and Thine for ever!
Christly Living
