Sunday School Voices, No.2 ‎#89

89. Go Ye!

1 “The people are blessed whose God is the Lord,”
Whose law and whose life is his own holy word;
Whose mission is that of the Savior above,
Whose field is the broad world, whose power is love.

Chorus:
Go ye!
Go ye!
Go, ye servants of the Lord:
Go ye!
Go ye!
“Go and preach the word.”

2 Go forth, men of God, go to all the wide world,
Go carry the message with banner unfurled,
Proclaiming salvation to all who are lost,
Reclaiming the wayward, whatever the cost. [Chorus]

3 Go forth to the millions in dark, heathen lands,
Who worship their idols with uplifted hands;
They need the pure light of the gospel of love,
They need the great truth which has come from above. [Chorus]

4 Go bless the appeal as it comes from his word,
The “Go ye” of Jesus, our Savior and Lord;
The rich and the poor, with the high and the low,
Must hear the commission, must heed the word “Go.” [Chorus]
