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,

Tell from his lofty throne

Satan is hurled.

2 Far over sea and land,

Go at your Lord’s command,

Bear ye his name;

Bear it to every shore,

Regions unknown explore,

Enter at every door;

Silence is shame.

3 Speed on the wings of love;

Jesus who reigns above

Bids us to fly;

They who his message bear

Should neither doubt nor fear;

He will their friend appear,

He will be nigh.

4 When on the mighty deep,

He will their spirits keep,

Stayed on his word;

When in a foreign land,

No other friend at hand,

Jesus will by them stand,

Jesus their Lord.
