Zebulun, rejoice in going forth, Hoist your sail, blown by Spirit of might; Gospel boat, with all Christ’s riches laden, His resurrection preach, testify. Propagate Christ to every land As His testimony true; Make disciples of all nations and Thus our Lord’s great commission do. |

As a hind let loose is Naphtali Giving beautiful words from his mouth; Full of grace, receiving all God’s blessings, Possessing both the sea and the south. Let the high gospel be proclaimed, With the life of Christ outpoured; Boldly go, the lands and peoples claim By the pow’r promised of the Lord. |

Lo, the world is full of hungry souls, Only Christ has the surplus to feed; Quickly rise! Throw open Joseph’s storehouse, The Lord calls us to fill all their need. Says the Lord, Whom ~ shall I send; And ~ who will go for Us? We respond: Lord, Here am I; send me; All Your will do accomplish thus. |

Judah’s lion conquers every foe, To establish His kingdom of worth; Ruler’s staff and scepter ne’er shall leave him Till Shiloh comes and peace fills the earth. We’ll the Lord’s victory display, Pow’r of darkness vanquishing; Thus we’ll reign in life, as Spirit leads, To all nations, His blessing bring. |

Joseph is a fruitful bough indeed, Bearing fruit by the fount without end; Nothing hinders this life’s reproduction; As o’er the wall his branches extend. In the Lord constantly abide, In His flow of life divine; In all things, let Christ be magnified; Bear new fruit; let His virtues shine. |

Issachar, between the sheepfolds lies— Gains the good land, at rest in his lot; In his tents made glad, he bows his shoulder, And offers pleasing tribute to God. Christ the good land we must enjoy, Drop religion utterly; In the church, as members functioning, Build His Body organically. |

Benjamin, beloved of the Lord, Like a ravenous wolf for the fight, Foe destroys, at morn the prey devouring, Dividing spoil in triumph at night. Christ’s belov’d, with Him we’d abide; Gladsome shelter, rest, obtain, God and man forever satisfied— Let’s press forward, this goal attain! |
