A Missionary Poem

God has called you forth, Dear Brother,

His grand message to proclaim

In the Name of Christ, Our Saviour,

In his Own Dear Holy Name

Go you forth, then O! Dear Brother

With a heart that’s brave and true

Go you Forth and do your duty

Do the work God bids you do.

Like a brave and valiant soldier

Brother Dearest, may you stand

Ready at a moments notice

To obey His great command

God Bless you then, Dear Brother,

And protect you on your way

That you may return in safety

Brother, we shall ever pray.

If for learning you are seeking

That, Dear Brother, you will find

For to know the ways of God

Would be knowledge most divine.

Whether on a distant shore,

Or out on the ocean foam,

Remember still, Dear Brother,

That we’ll think of you at home.

(Monroe, Utah—written for my brother George M[atthew] Hunt—May 2, 1910 when he was leaving to go on his mission to Germany.)
