GO FORTH AND TELL

Go forth and tell! O Church of God, awake!

God's saving news to all the nations take:

proclaim Christ Jesus, Saviour, Lord and King,

that all the world His worthy praise may sing.




Go forth and tell! God's love embraces all;

He will in grace respond to all who call:

how shall they call if they have never heard

the gracious invitation of His word?




Go forth and tell! men still in darkness lie;

in wealth or want, in sin they live and die:

give us, O Lord, concern of heart and mind,

a love like Yours which cares for all mankind.




Go forth and tell! the doors are open wide:

share God's good gifts - let no one be denied;

live out your life as Christ your Lord shall choose,

Your ransomed powers for His sole glory use.




Go forth and tell! O church of God, arise!

Go in the strength which Christ your Lord supplies;

go till all nations His great name adore

and serve Him, Lord and King for evermore
