Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
Heralds of Christ who bears 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.
