H. E. Fox

L.M.

SEND forth the Gospel! Let it run

Southward and northward, east and west;

Tell all the earth Christ died and lives,

Who giveth pardon, life, and rest.

2

Send forth Thy Gospel, Mighty Lord!

Out of this chaos bring to birth

Thine own creation’s promised hope;

The better days of heaven on earth.

3

Send forth Thy Gospel, Gracious Lord!

Thine was the blood for sinners shed;

Thy voice still pleads in human hearts;

To Thee Thine other sheep be led.

4

Send forth Thy Gospel, Holy Lord!

Kindle in us love’s sacred flame;

Love giving all, and grudging naught

For Jesus’ sake, in Jesus’ name.

5

Send forth the Gospel! Tell it out!

Go, brothers, at the Master’s call;

Prepare His way, who comes to reign,

The King of Kings, and Lord of all.
