Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
Heralds of Christ, who bear the King's command
Immortal tidings in your mortal hands
Pass on and carry swift the news ye bring
Make straight, make straight the highway of the Lord
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
Prepare across 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
