Ye Christian heralds! go, proclaimSalvation through Immanuel's name;To distant climes the tidings bear,And plant the Rose of Sharon there.

2

He 'll shield you with a wall of fire,With flaming zeal your breast inspire,Bid raging winds their fury cease,And hush the tempest into peace.

3

And when our labors all are o'er,Then we shall meet to part no more,—Meet with the blood-bought throng, to fall,And crown our Jesus—Lord of all!

About this hymn

As printed Words only. As printed: hymn number «1035» (large) in the right column of p. 354, below hymn 1034 and «Johann J. Winkler.», with the reference line «136. 365, 47.» in italic figures beside it — a round stop, not a comma, after «136» (sing to the tunes of hymns 136 WARE, 365 MISSIONARY CHANT or 47 AMES, all L. M.; no meter is printed — the lines 8.8.8.8 are L. M.). Stanzas numbered «1»–«3» without periods (written «1.»–«3.» here, as in the other deliveries of this book); all four lines of each stanza stand at the same margin. The first word «YE» is set in a capital and small capital; written «Ye». «He 'll» (stanza 2) is set with a space before the apostrophe and is kept so (as «I 'll» in HT_0171, HT_0398). The print sets a thin space before «!» and «;» («heralds !», «name ;», «all !»); it is closed up here. Apostrophes are written straight («Immanuel's», «He 'll», «o'er»). «Anon.» in italics, right-aligned, after stanza 3. Spelling («labors»), punctuation (the dashes in «more,—» and «Jesus—Lord»; the hyphen of «blood-bought») and capitals are the print's.
