Send thy message through the earth. 
To every land, o’er every sea, 
“ Peace on earth, good will to men,” 
Then shall come the jubilee. 
Then shall war, and vice, and crime, 
All be banished from our earth; 
All shall learn these truths sublime, 
In palace hall, by cottage hearth. 
Go, thou messenger of Christ, 
Let thy words His precepts teach, 
And by pure example, too, 
His blessed Gospel ever preach.
