Bear the Message Onward

Verse 1

Bear the message onward, Spread it far and wide; Let the distant nations Know that Jesus died,— Died that God might justly Sinners now forgive; Died that through His merit Guilty man might live.

Chorus

Bear the message onward, Spread it far and wide; Let the distant nations Know that Jesus died.

Verse 2

Bear the message onward, Over land and sea; Nothing save the Gospel Makes men noble, free; Spread, O spread the teaching Fraught with endless bliss; Angels well might covert Work so grand as this.

Verse 3

Bear the message onward, ‘Tis so grandly true; Wheresoe’er it cometh, Eden blooms anew; Work performed for Jesus Cannot go unblessed; Not till life is ended Must God’s servants rest.
