Full Lyrics
Solo
Heralds of Christ who bears the king's command.
Immortal tidings in your mortal hands.
Pass on and carry swift the news you bring,
make straight make straight the highway of the king
Refrain
Behold I send you like sheep among the wolves.
Carry no haversack, carry no money
Be in the world but not of the world
I am with you always says the Lord.
Verse 2
Thro' desert ways, dark fens, and deep morass.
Thro' jungles sluggish seas, and mountain pass.
Build ye the road, and falter not, nor stray,
Prepareacross the earth the king's highway.
Verse 3
Lord give us faith and strength the road to build
To see the promise of the day fulfilled.
When war shall be no more and strife shall cease,
Upon the highway of the prince of peace.
