Send Forth the Gospel!

Send forth the Gos­pel! Let it run

Southward and north­ward

east and west;

Tell all the earth Christ died and lives

Who giv­eth par­don

life and rest.

Send forth Thy Gos­pel

migh­ty Lord!

Out of this cha­os bring to birth

Thine own cre­ation’s pro­mised hope;

The bet­ter days of Heav­en on earth.

Send forth Thy Gos­pel

gra­cious Lord!

Thine was the blood for sin­ners shed;

Thy voice still pleads in hu­man hearts;

To Thee Thine oth­er sheep be led.

Send forth Thy Gos­pel

ho­ly Lord!

Kindle in us love’s sac­red flame;

Love giv­ing all

and grudg­ing naught

For Je­sus’ sake

in Je­sus’ name.

Send forth Thy Gos­pel! Tell it out!

Go

bro­thers

at the Mas­ter’s call;

Prepare His way

who comes to reign

The King of kings

and Lord of all.
