Emissary

Far off from home

Emissary^* to a foreign land

A duty to perform

Integrity to uphold

Unnumbered foes seek to enfeeble^* you

Compromise draped^* as urgent commission

But your faith shall embolden^* you

And your laid foundation be unshaken

Scripture as crystal, spoken

Shall unfailingly return, not void

For the respecter of no man

Ahead of you is gone

We’ll dearly miss your fellowship

But if we’ll hear dulcet^* tones of your report

Then we pray thee

Honour God. Be His ambassador

2 Cor. 5:20 “We are ambassadors therefore for Christ, God as [it were] beseeching by us, we entreat for Christ, Be reconciled to God.” (DARBY)
