Go Preach the Gospel

By Jesse McPhaill

Lyrics

1. All pow'r is given me today:
As sheep, I do ye send.
And, lo, I am with you alway
Even to the world's end.

Chorus:
Go, teach all nations!
Go, preach the gospel!
Go, preach God's kingdom!
Go and bring forth fruit.

2. My conqu'ring peace be to you;
The Holy Ghost, receive.
As I was sent, so send I you
That others may believe.

3. Pow'r from God most High shall come:
Go witness now of me.
Tarry not in Jerusalem;
Pass over land and sea.
