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.
