The Lord, who sends thee hence, will be thine aid; In vain at thee the lion, Danger, roars; His arm and love shall keep thee undismayed On tempest-tossed seas, and savage shores. Go, bear the Saviour's name to lands unknown, Tell to the Southern world His wondrous grace; An energy Divine thy words shall own, And draw their untaught hearts to seek His face.
