Words
⤢ Full screenSound, sound the truth abroad!Bear ye the word of GodThrough the wide world;Tell what our Lord has done,Tell how the day is won,And from his lofty throneSatan is hurled.
Ye who, forsaking allAt your loved Master's call,Comforts resign;Soon will your work be done,Soon will the prize be won;Brighter than yonder sunThen shall ye shine.
