Heralds of Christ

Listen to:

  Heralds of Christ (.midi)
  Heralds of Christ (.mp3)

1.	Heralds of Christ, who bear the King's
	commands,
	immortal tidings in your mortal hands, 
	pass on and carry swift the news you bring;
	
	make straight, make straight the highway
	of the King.


2.	Through desert ways, dark fen, and deep
	morass,
	through jungles, sluggish seas, and mountain
	pass,
	build now the road, and falter not, nor
	stay;
	prepare across the earth the King's highway.
	


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.
