Said John Taylor:
"Go ye messengers of
glory;
Run, ye legates of the skies;
Go and tell the pleasing story
That a glorious angel flies;
Great and mighty,
Great and mighty,
With a message from the skies.
Go to every tribe and nation;
Visit every land and clime;
Sound to all the proclamation;
Tell to all the truth sublime;
That the gospel, That the
gospel
Does in ancient glory shine.
Go, to all the gospel carry;
Let the joyful news abound;
Go till every nation hear you.
Jew and Gentile greet the
sound.
Let the gospel, Let the gospel
Echo all the earth around,
bearing seed of heavenly
virtue,
Scatter it o'er all the earth!
Go! Jehovah will support you,
Gather all the sheaves of
worth.
Then, with Jesus, Then, with
Jesus
Reign in glory on the
earth."
God bless you, fellow workers,
bearers of the proclamation of the restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ,
the second greatest event in all history; the birth, life, death, and
resurrection of Christ being first. Next, His appearance as a resurrected Being
of whom the Father said, "This is my Beloved Son. Hear Him."
I pray the blessings of Jehovah
and His Son, Jesus Christ, to be with you, you brethren and you sisters,
authorized representatives of this glorious work, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen. (“Pres.
