Bear the Message

Go tell to souls benighted, of the Lord who came,
Speak His name—love proclaim;
Go tell the gospel story, that the lost may know,
Bring salvation near.
O bid them come repenting, bid them come today,
Help them say, "I obey."
Bear the blessed message, hasten now to go,
Go with love sincere.
