"Go 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 you shall prove My Gospel true,
By all the works that I have done,
and all the wonders you shall do.
“Go heal the sick, go raise the dead,
Go cast out devils in My name;
Nor let My prophets be afraid,
Though Greek's reproach, and Jews' blaspheme.
"While thus you follow My commands,
I’m with you till the world shall end;
All power is trusted to My hands,
I can destroy and can defend."
He spoke, and light shone round His head;
On a bright cloud to Heav’n He rode;
They to the farthest nation spread
The grace of their ascended God.
