Go, messenger of peace and love

1

Go, messenger of peace and love,To people plunged in shades of night;Like angels sent from fields aboveBe thine to shed celestial light.

2

Go to the hungry, food impart;To paths of peace the wanderer guide;And lead the thirsty, panting heartWhere streams of living water glide.

3

O, faint not in the day of toil;When harvest waits the reaper's hand,Go gather in the glorious spoil,And joyous in his presence stand.

4

Thy love a rich reward shall findFrom Him who sits enthroned on high;For they who turn the erring mindShall shine like stars above the sky.
