1 Spread, oh, spread, almighty Word,
spread the reign of God the Lord.
Send forth our Creator's call,
heaven's gifts extend to all.
2 Tell of our Redeemer's grace,
who, to save our human race
and to pay rebellion's price,
gave himself as sacrifice.
3 Tell of God the Spirit given
now to guide us on to heaven,
strong and holy, just and true,
working both to will and do.
4 Lord of harvest, great and kind,
rouse to action heart and mind;
let the gathering nations all
see your light and heed your call.
