SPEED, HERALDS OF OUR KING!

By H. S. Dunning

SPEED, heralds of our King, To earth’s remotest bound, On love’s swift-pulsing wing, The joyful tidings bring; Till new-born souls shall sing, And Christ o’er all be crowned.
Speed, messengers of light, O’er ocean’s billowy ways, Then, in Jehovah’s might, Bid wrong give place to right, And rend the Stygian night With heaven’s celestial rays.
Then come, thou Saviour mine, And reign from shore to shore; Assume thy right divine, And make earth’s sceptre thine— The powers of hell confine To curse the world no more!
—H. S. Dunning, in N. Y. Observer.
