Sound, Sound the Truth Abroad

Sound

sound the truth abroad;

Bear ye the Word of God

Through the wide world;

Tell what our Lord hath done

Tell how the day is won

Tell from his lof­ty throne

Satan is hurled.

Far ov­er sea and land

Go at your Lord’s comm­and;

Bear ye His name;

Bear it to ev­ery shore

Regions unk­nown ex­plore

Enter at ev­ery door:

Silence is shame.

Speed on the wings of love;

Jesus

who reigns ab­ove

Bids us to fly;

They who His mess­age bear

Should nei­ther doubt nor fear

He will their friend ap­pear

He will be nigh.

When on the migh­ty deep

He will their spir­its keep

Stayed on His Word;

When in a for­eign land

No oth­er friend at hand

Jesus will by them stand—

Jesus

their Lord.

Ye who

for­sak­ing all

At your loved mas­ter’s call

Comforts re­sign;

Soon will your work be done

Soon will the prize be won

Brighter than yon­der sun

Then shall ye shine.
