The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal ‎#360

360. "Go Preach the Gospel," Saith the Lord

1 “Go preach my gospel,” saith the Lord.
“Bid the whole earth my grace receive;
Explain to them my sacred word,
Bid them believe, obey, and live."

2 “I’ll make my great commission known,
And ye shall prove my gospel true,
By all the works that I have done,
And all the wonders ye shall do"

3 “Go heal the sick, go raise the dead,
Go cast out devils in My name;
Nor let my prophets be afraid,
Tho' men reproach, and Jews blaspheme."

4 “While thus he follows my commands,
I’m with you till the world shall end;
All power is trusted in my hands,
I can destroy, and can defend.”

5 He spake and light shone round His head;
On a bright cloud to heav'n He rode;
They to the farthest nation spread
The grace of their ascended God.

AMEN.
