| Lyrics |
1 Go bear the joyful tidings
That first, on Judah’s plain,
Awoke the wondering shepherds
To praise Messiah’s name;
Exalt the King of glory
Who left His throne on high,
And came to earth a ransom
For guilty man to die.
Refrain:
Go sound the Gospel trumpet
Beyond the rolling sea,
From chains of sin and darkness
To set the captive free.
2 Go in your Master’s vineyard,
And labor heart and hand;
The word of life eternal
Proclaim to every land—
The sweet and precious promise
To all who will believe,
Free grace and full salvation
For all who will receive. [Refrain]
3 Go tell the broken spirit
That vainly sighs for rest,
There is a home in glory,
A home for ever blest;
Go bring the lost to Jesus,
His tender love to share;
Go forth to every nation:
Immortal souls are there. [Refrain]
4 Haste on your work of mercy,
The heavenly call obey,
Go in the strength of Jesus,
The true and living way,
Go like the old disciples,
And tread the path they trod,
Your duty lies before you,
Go--leave the rest to God.
