The Gospel of the Kingdom

By L. D. Santee

L. D. SANTEE
“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matt. 24 : 14.
AWAY from the ties of home and friends, And voices that bid you stay, You must go till the work of the Master ends: Soldiers of Christ, away!
Where sable faces look for the light, By the streams with their sands of gold, The truth must go to the land of night; There, must the truth be told.
And far away, ’neath a wind-swept sky, Where the landscapes are drear and gray, There do the heathen in darkness die: Heralds of Christ, obey!
There are souls you will point to the One above. In the wake of the setting sun, You have circled the earth with your work of love, And the east and the west are one.
When the work is done, and the flags are furled, Rest will be long and sweet. Morning comes at the end of the world: Servant of God, be fleet!
Moline, Ill.
