Lyrics
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 respond in grace 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.
