1 Go with Christ's own loving spirit,
Seek the erring in his name;
Tell them of his wondrous mercy,
Help them each a blessing claim.
Chorus:
Go with Christ's own loving spirit,
Tell them how he waits to bless
Ev'ry erring soul who seeks him
In his truth and righteousness.
2 Bear for him the "cups of water,"
By thy loving kindness sweet;
By thy tender pity win them,
Lead them to the Master's feet. [Chorus]
3 Tell them lovingly of Jesus,
Tell how much he is to thee;
How thy heart was won to love him,
How his blood hath made thee free. [Chorus]
4 With the healing balm of mercy,
Go with Christlike soul to them;
Tell them of his love unfailing,
Win them for his diadem. [Chorus]
