Preach Christ

1 Preach Christ upon the mount,
Preach him beside the sea;
Preach in the quiet vales,
His gospel rich and free.

Chorus:
Thus ye shall gain the crown
And reign with him above,
And know thro' endless years
The bliss of perfect love.

2 Preach by the tender word
Which shows a loving heart;
By hands that haste to heal
The wounds which bleed and smart. [Chorus]

3 Preach by a thousand ways
That waken human love,
If ye would gather souls
To fill the courts above. [Chorus]

4 Preach by the Master's love,
Mirrored in every deed;
'Tis thus ye richly sow
The kingdom's holy seed. [Chorus]
