Author	Topic: Speed away, speed away on thine errand of light.
acekickers@webtv.net unregistered	posted 10-04-2002 08:55 AM I own this unusual piece. The inscription on the plate reads,"Speed away, speed away on thine errand of light." Above these words is a line of music notes and flowers carved above the notes. The corner of the piece is adorned with wings intricately detailed with feathers. The tray is 8" in diameter and it is 4" high including the pedestal. The stamp on the bottom says Derby Silver Co. January 25, 1887 3546. Do you know an exact name for this piece? Thank you in advance, Annie IP: Logged

WCK unregistered	posted 10-23-2002 10:31 PM The inscription on your piece is the opening line of a hymn by Fanny J. Crosby -- an exhortation to proclaim the Gospel to "the lands that are lying in darkness and night...". quote: *Speed Away* Words by Frances Jane (Fanny) Crosby Arranged by I. B. Woodbury Genre: Inspirational/Hymns, Traditional Song Lyrics: Speed away, speed away, on your mission of light To the lands that are lying in darkness and night �Tis the Master�s command; go ye forth in His Name The wonderful Gospel of Jesus proclaim Take your lives in your hand, to the work while �tis day Speed away, speed away, speed away Speed away, speed away with the life giving Word To the nations that know not the voice of the Lord Take the wings of the morning and fly o�er the wave In the strength of your Master the lost ones to save He is calling once more, not at moment�s delay Speed away, speed away, speed away Speed away, speed away with the message of rest To the souls by the tempter in bondage oppressed For the Savior has purchased their ransom from sin And the banquet is ready, O gather them in To the rescue make haste, there�s no time for delay Speed away, speed away, speed away Words public domain Perhaps it was a gift presented to a retiring missionary, or to one departing on a mission assignment.
