I.CXXVIII. The Apostle's commission: or, the gospel attested by miracles

1 “Go preach my gospel (saith the Lord)
“Bid the whole earth my grace receive;
"He shall be sav'd that trust my word:
"He shall be dam'd that wont believe.

2 “[I’ll make my great commission known,
"And ye shall prove my gospel true
"By all the works that I have done,
"And all the wonders ye shall do.”

3 “Go heal the sick, go raise the dead,
"Go cast out devils in my name;
"Nor let my prophets be afraid,
"Tho' Greeks reproach, and Jews blaspheme.]

4 "Teach all the nations my commands;
"I’m with you till the world shall end;
"All pow’r in trusted in my hands,
"I can destroy, and can defend.”

5 He spake, and light shone round his head;
On a bright cloud to heav’n he rode:
They to the farthest nations spread
The grace of their ascended God.
