1 Go preach my gospel, Jesus said,
The whole wide world around;
And tell the story of my love,
Wherever man is found.
Refrain:
Go, quickly go, and I will aid
Each messenger I send;
Lo, I am with you all the days
Until the world shall end.
2 Go to the distant countries far,
And islands of the sea;
Go tell them all their debt was paid
On Calv’ry’s rugged tree. [Refrain]
3 Go gather all men at the cross,
A vast believing host;
Baptize them in the Father’s name,
The Son, and Holy Ghost. [Refrain]
4 Go teach them all that I have said,
And make them wise indeed;
That they may turn from sin’s dark way,
And lives of virtue lead. [Refrain]
5 Go, quickly go, for life is short,
And time is waning fast;
So soon the closing hour will come,
And mercy will be past. [Refrain]
