From east to west, from south to north;
Go, and assert your Saviour’s cause—
Go, spread the mystery of the cross!
4 These weapons of the holy war,
Of what almighty force they are
To make our stubborn passions bow,
And lay the proudest rebel low!
5 The Greeks and Jews, the learned and rude,
Are by these heavenly arms subdued;
While Satan rages at his loss,
