Go, Preach My Gospel

lyricist: Isaac Watts, 1709
Composer: German tune

Go preach My Gos­pel

saith the Lord

“Bid the whole earth My grace re­ceive;

He shall be saved that trusts My Word

He shall be damned that won’t be­lieve.

“I’ll make your great com­mis­sion known

And ye shall prove My Gos­pel true

By all the works that I have done

By 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.

Teach all the na­tions My com­mands

I’m with you till the world shall end;

All power is trust­ed to My hands

I can de­stroy

and I de­fend.

He spake

and light shone round His head;

On a bright cloud to Heav’n He rode;

They to the far­thest na­tions spread

The grace of their as­cend­ed God.
