1 O Sionae cu vestea ta grăbeşte;
Spune lumei că Domnui lumină;
Că Atotfăcătorul nu voieşte,
Nici un singur suflet să se peardă.

Refren:
Vesteşte ’n lume, despre Isus—
Mântuitorul celor ces păcătoşi.

2 Iată cât de multe mii mai sunt încă
Legate în lanţul păcatului;
Şi nu este nimeni să le vestească
Despre Isus şi despre moartea Lui! [Refren]

3 Predăţi fiii tă să fie vestitori;
Cu avutul tău ajutăi pe ei;
Şi te roagă pentru ei adeseori,
Şi pentru toate plată primivei. [Refren]

4 El vine iarăsi: fii gata Sioane;
Dă ’n ştire harul Său mântuitor,
Ca toţi săl poată ’ntimpina cu tine,
Când vine spre mărirea tuturor. [Refren]
