13721. Up And Doing

1 Hear the Master as He bade farewell;
This the message, Christian, go and tell;
Tell the story of His power to save,
Since His life He gave.

Refrain:
Up and doing, at the King’s command,
Everywhere will go the herald band;
Spread the Gospel, spread the Gospel,
Send its light to every land.

2 Humbly listen to the King’s command,
Bear good tidings now to every land;
"Unto all the world" His word must go,
Blessing to bestow. [Refrain]

3 Onward marching, at the King’s command,
Hasten, hasten, in a work so grand,
Till the nations see the heav’nly Light—
Know His saving might. [Refrain]
