1 Apostles of the risen Christ, go forth!
Let love compel.
Go, and in risen power proclaim His worth,
O’er every region of the dead, cold earth―
His glory tell!
2 Tell how He lived, and toiled, and wept below;
Tell all His love;
Tell the dread wonders of His awful woe;
Tell how He fought our fight, and smote our foe,
Then rose above!
3 Tell how in weakness He was crucified,
But rose in power;
Went up on high, accepted, glorified;
News of His victory spread far and wide,
From hour to hour.
4 Tell how He sits at the right hand of God
In glory bright,
Making the heav’n of heav’ns His glad abode;
Tell how He cometh with the iron rod
His foes to smite.
5 Tell how His kingdom shall thro’ ages stand,
And never cease;
Spreading like sunshine over every land,
All nations bowing to His high command,
Great Prince of peace!
