71. Carry the New of Jesus

1 Christian brethren, o’er the main
Carry the news of Jesus;
Go where night and darkness reign,
Lovingly haste away.

Refrain:
Carry the news o’er waters blue,
Perishing souls are waiting for you;
Stretching their hands, they plead for light,
Blessed Gospel light.

2 Onward, quickly, hear their cry
Over the deep resounding;
Save the millions ere they die,
Earnestly haste away. [Refrain]

3 Tell them Judah’s Morning Star,
Peacefully, calmly shining,
Spreads its beams o’er climes afar;
Pray’rfully haste away. [Refrain]

4 Christian brethren, preach the Word,—
Publish a free salvation;
Lo, in heav’n your bright reward;
Joyfully haste away. [Refrain]
