Mark 3:14: Sent forth by Christ indeed

Sent forth by Christ indeed,
His true apostles go,
Through earth the joyful tidings spread
Of heaven display'd below:
Physicians under God
They for His patients care,
And all the grace on them bestow'd
To others minister.

War with the fiend they wage,
From strength to strength go on,
And cast him out in every age,
And tread his kingdom down:
Their Lord sets to His seal.
His own great power applies,
O'erturns by them the gates of hell,
And opens paradise.
