Shacklock, 1829-1887 Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: They go to preach the blessed word Refrain First Line: God speed them on, God speed them on Lyrics: 1 They go to preach the blessèd word, The army of the gracious Lord; Against the hosts of death and sin, A war to wage, a victory win. Refrain: God speed them on, God speed them on ’Till fought the fight, the victory won; ’Till truth shall spread from shore to shore, ’Till death and sin shall be no more. 2 They leave the homes of early years, The triumph o’er their human fears; As soldiers of the cross they bear His royal banner everywhere.
