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.
