- 1"Go, preach My gospel," saith the Lord;
- "Bid the whole earth My grace receive;
- He shall be saved who trusts My Word;
- And He condemned who won't believe.
- 2"I'll make your great commission known,
- And ye shall prove My Gospel true
- By all the works that I have done,
- By all the wonders ye shall do.
- 3"Teach all the nations My commands;
- I'm with you till the world shall end;
- All pow'r is trusted to My hands;
- I can destroy, and I defend."
- 4He spake, and light shone round his head;
- On a bright cloud to heav'n He rode;
- They to the farthest nations spread
- The grace of their ascended God.
