H. E. Fox
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.
