Zebulun, rejoice in going forth

Zebulun

rejoice in going forth

Hoist your sail

blown by Spirit of might;

Gospel boat

with all Christ’s riches laden

His resurrection preach

testify.

Propagate Christ to every land

As His testimony true;

Make disciples of all nations and

Thus our Lord’s great commission do.

As a hind let loose is Naphtali

Giving beautiful words from his mouth;

Full of grace

receiving all God’s blessings

Possessing both the sea and the south.

Let the high gospel be proclaimed

With the life of Christ outpoured;

Boldly go

the lands and peoples claim

By the pow’r promised of the Lord.

Lo

the world is full of hungry souls

Only Christ has the surplus to feed;

Quickly rise！ Throw open Joseph’s storehouse

The Lord calls us to fill all their need.

Says the Lord

Whom ~ shall I send;

And ~ who will go for Us?

We respond: Lord

Here am I; send me;

All Your will do accomplish thus.

Judah’s lion conquers every foe

To establish His kingdom of worth;

Ruler’s staff and scepter ne’er shall leave him

Till Shiloh comes and peace fills the earth.

We’ll the Lord’s victory display

Pow’r of darkness vanquishing;

Thus we’ll reign in life

as Spirit leads

To all nations

His blessing bring.

Joseph is a fruitful bough indeed

Bearing fruit by the fount without end;

Nothing hinders this life’s reproduction;

As o’er the wall his branches extend.

In the Lord constantly abide

In His flow of life divine;

In all things

let Christ be magnified;

Bear new fruit; let His virtues shine.

Issachar

between the sheepfolds lies—

Gains the good land

at rest in his lot;

In his tents made glad

he bows his shoulder

And offers pleasing tribute to God.

Christ the good land we must enjoy

Drop religion utterly;

In the church

as members functioning

Build His Body organically.

Benjamin

beloved of the Lord

Like a ravenous wolf for the fight

Foe destroys

at morn the prey devouring

Dividing spoil in triumph at night.

Christ’s belov’d

with Him we’d abide;

Gladsome shelter

rest

obtain

God and man forever satisfied—

Let’s press forward

this goal attain!
