Go ye, my servants, go ye forth

Verse 1

Go ye my servants, go ye forth, This was the Saviour's charge; Preach ye my gospel o'er the earth, And to the world at large.

Verse 2

Make known to all the sons of men The charge which I have giv'n: This doctrine unto all explain, Which shews the way to heav'n.

Verse 3

My spirit shall attend the word, As ye do make it known, And prove that I am Christ the Lord, The Father's only Son.

Verse 4

As Moses and the Prophets said, Long as they prophecied, Complete redemption I have made, When I for sinners died.

Verse 5

Teach all the nations ev'ry where, The aged and the youth; My counsels and my will declare, And spread the gospel truth.

Verse 6

Bring life and peace into their sight, Which they knew not before: Turn them from darkness unto light, From Satan and his pow'r.

Verse 7

This bless'd and sacred word of God, Will give the troubled rest, When publish'd to the world abroad, Can make all nations blest.

Verse 8

O may that word of truth divine, With all its bright displays, In all our hearts with glory shine, And make us heirs of grace.
