Sound, sound the truth abroad!
Bear ye the word of God
Through the wide world;
Tell what our Lord has done,
Tell how the day is won,
And from his lofty throne
Satan is hurled.

2

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.

As printed: hymn number «128», reference line «34, 155.» in italics (sing to the tune of hymn 34 or 155 — the 6s & 4s tunes AMERICA and NEW HAVEN; ITALY, hymn 127, is on the same page), two numbered stanzas at the foot of the left column of p. 47 below hymn 127, «Thomas Kelly.» in italics at the end.
