YO 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!
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.

Go heal the sick, go raise the dead, 'Go cast out devils in my name; Nor let my Prophets be afraid,

Though Greeks reproach, and Jews blaspheme.

While thus ye follow 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;

life thus shall your doctrines be believed, They to the farthest nations spread Therefore e And, by your labours, sinners live.
