<p>Spread, O spread, thou mighty Word,<br>
|
|
Spread the kingdom of the Lord,<br>
|
|
Whersoe’er His breath has given,<br>
|
|
Life to beings meant for heaven.</p>
|
|
<p>Tell them how the Father’s will<br>
|
|
Made the world, and keeps it still,<br>
|
|
How He sent His Son to save<br>
|
|
All who help and comfort crave.</p>
|
|
<p>Tell of our Redeemer’s love,<br>
|
|
Who forever doth remove<br>
|
|
By His holy sacrifice<br>
|
|
All the guilt that on us lies.</p>
|
|
<p>Tell them of the Spirit given<br>
|
|
Now to guide us up to heaven,<br>
|
|
Strong and holy, just and true,<br>
|
|
Working both to will and do.</p>
|
|
<p>Word of life, most pure and strong,<br>
|
|
Lo! for Thee the nations long,<br>
|
|
Spread, till from its dreary night<br>
|
|
All the world awakes to light.</p>
|
|
<p>Up! the ripening fields ye see,<br>
|
|
Mighty shall the harvest be;<br>
|
|
But the reapers still are few,<br>
|
|
Great the work they have to do.</p>
|
|
<p>Lord of harvest, let there be<br>
|
|
Joy and strength to work for Thee,<br>
|
|
Till the nations, far and near,<br>
|
|
See Thy light, and learn Thy fear.</p>
