We must ever preach the gospel

We must ever preach the gospel

Holding forth the word of life.

We must never shirk our duty;

Saving man from sin and strife.

Fellowship unto the gospel

For the increase and the spread;

In the vital groups empowered

Into victory we’ll be led.

We must ever preach the gospel

Thus our friends and neighbors gain;

House to house with vital partners

That our new ones will remain.

We must ever preach the gospel

Cherishing and nourishing;

Loving them as our dear children

As our priestly offering.

We must ever preach the gospel

By perfecting in the homes

Through the word and prayer and singing

Never laboring alone.

We must ever preach the gospel

Learning how to prophesy

For the building of the Body

Thus the Lord to glorify.
