"I'll make your great commission known, And ye shall prove my gospel true, By all the works that I have done, By all the wonders ye shall do. "Go heal the sick, go raise the dead, Go cast out devils in my name; Nor let my prophets be afraid, Though Greeks reproach, and Jews blaspheme. "Teach all the nations my commands, I'm with you till the world shall end; All power is trusted to my hands, I can destroy, and I defend." He spake, and light shone round his head On a bright cloud to heav'n he rode; They to the farthest nations spread The grace of their ascended God.
