TO THE MESSENGERS.

By D. J. Frisbie

Go sound ye the cry, "The Saviour is nigh!"— Invite all the guests to the feast; Go plead with them, Come, While yet there is room, E'er mercy's last message has ceased.

This last warning call, Proclaim unto all, To nations both distant and near; If truth they reject, Or treat with neglect, How will they in judgment appear?

In vain will they call For mountains to fall, And hide them from Him on the throne; That great vengeance day Is speeding its way, As God through his prophets hath shown.

Then bid sinners come While yet there is room, And all God's commandments obey; That they may now be From bondage set free, And shielded in that coming day.

Come gird thee anew, Thy journey pursue, Bright angels are going before; They will strengthen thee, Where e'er thou may'st be Until all thy labor is o'er.

Then haste ye away, Nor longer delay, Thy mission proceeds from on high; A crown soon will be Extended to thee For lo! the Rewarder is nigh!

And when he shall come To take his saints home, Your warfare will then all be o'er; Your work will be done, The victory won, Then trust ye in Him evermore.
