55. Go Quickly

1 Go quickly go, the angelic words repeating,
"Jesus, the Saviour, liveth today!"
Haste with the news, for the hours of day are fleeting,
Oh, tarry not by the way.

Chorus:
Go quickly, in the early morning;
Go quickly, ere it be too late;
Go, tell the weary the "better day" is dawning,
Where they in darkness wait.

2 Go quickly, go, many precious souls are dying,
Languishing daily in ways of sin;
Hasten, the words of eternal freedom crying,
Till life and light enter in. [Chorus]

3 Go quickly, join ye the loyal ranks, obeying;
Lovers of Jesus will not refuse;
Lose not the smile of your Father by delaying;
Speed with the blessed news. [Chorus]

4 Go quickly, (though many still are unbelieving,)
While for the truth in darkness thy pine;
Patiently toil till, their hungry souls relieving,
You win the meed divine. [Chorus]
