Missionary Charged and Encouraged. (1024) Go, messenger of peace and love, To people plunged in shades of night, Like angels sent from fields above, Be thine to shed celestial light. 2 Go to the hungry -- food impart; To paths of peace the wand'rer guide, And lead the thirsty, panting heart, Where streams of living water glide. 3 Oh, 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 find From him who sits enthroned on high: For they who turn the erring mind Shall shine like stars above the sky. A. Balfor
