Go forth and tell! O church of God, awake! 

God's saving news to all the nations take; 

proclaim Christ Jesus, saviour, Lord, and king, 

that all the world his worthy praise may sing. 

Go forth and tell! God's love embraces all; 

he will in grace respond to all who call: 

how shall they call if they have never heard 

the gracious invitation of his word? 

Go forth and tell! men still in darkness lie; 

in wealth or want, in sin they live and die: 

give us, O Lord, concern of heart and mind, 

a love like yours which cares for all mankind. 

Go forth and tell! The doors are open wide: 

share God's good gifts let no one be denied; 

live out your life as Christ your Lord shall choose, 

your ransomed powers for his sole glory use. 

Go forth and tell! O church of God, arise! 

go in the strength which Christ your Lord supplies; 

go till all nations his great name adore 

and serve him, Lord and king for evermore
