1. The Son of God goes forth to war, A mighty crown to gain;

Of the dear blessed Saviour, the Truth and the Way:
Speed away! speed away! speed away!

2 Speed away with thy promise of comfort and rest,

In that glorious home, the abode of the blest,—

To those hearts that are stricken with mourning and dread,
Who look hopelessly into the graves of their dead,—
And tell of Christ risen t' illumine the way,

Speed away! speed away! speed away.

5 Speed away to the souls who are passing from earth,
In sweet words whisper hopes of the heavenly birth-
Of the mansions prepared by the Father for all,-
Of the Saviour who tenderly uttered the call,
"Come to me and find rest," do not longer delay,
Speed away! speed away! speed away!

Ages, richly poured, Love of God, un - spent and free,

the proph-et's word And the people's liber ·ty!
