Go pro­claim the won­drous sto­ry,
Tell how Je­sus loved and died,
Till the world, re­deemed, shall glo­ry
In a Sav­ior cru­ci­fied;
Blessèd day! ’tis now be­gin­ning;
Orient beams adorn the sky;
Glorious tri­umphs dai­ly win­ning,
Victory! the her­alds cry.

Dally not in vain de­bat­ing;
Men of Is­ra­el, to the strife!
Hear the cry of mill­ions wait­ing,
Asking for the Bread of Life;
Pray and la­bor, bring your trea­sure,
Give your­self, if Je­sus need;
Let it be su­prem­est plea­sure
Hungry souls for Christ to feed.

Up, ye men of God! nor dal­ly;
Consecrate your­selves to­day;
Round the cross of Je­sus ral­ly,
He will lead you to the fray;
To the bat­tle, brave and stea­dy!
Onward! be the watch­word, On!
Crowns and palms for all are rea­dy,
When the fi­nal day is won.
