On With the Message! On, On, and On!
On with the message! On with the light!
On to the regions still shrouded in night.
On to the nations which never have heard;
On with the life-giving, soul-saving Word.
On with the message! message of pow'r
Message to meet ev'ry need of the hour
On with the message o'er land and o'er sea;
On with the truth that can set sinners free.
On with the message! Carry it on,
Millions in darkness still pray for the dawn.
Millions from whom Christ's blood did atone
Die in their darkness, unreached and alone.
On with the message! Haste thee away;
Soon cometh the night, haste thee while 'tis day
On with the message, by love's passion stirred
On till each creature of Jesus has heard.
On with the message; strive more and more;
Soon will the days for proclaiming be o'er,
On to all lengths, to where none have yet gone;
On with the message! On, on, and on!
--Wesley Duewel
