1 Tell it! Tell it out with gladness,
God's good news to ev'ry man;
Sin forgiven, lives transfigured,
All in God's great loving plan.
In the Book is found the witness
To His mighty acts of yore:
Listen, heed, obey, and serve Him,
Kneel before Him and adore.
2 Lord, we thank Thee for the treasure
Hid within the sacred page.
We would be Thy faithful heralds
To our deeply troubled age;
We would publish Thy salvation,
Ever on Thy side to stand,
Living, serving, giving, sending,
Life to quicken ev'ry land.
3 "Go and teach," thus spoke the Master,
Risen victor from the grave;
Still He gives this great commission
To His faithful ones, and brave.
Let men know the gospel story
Of what man through Christ can be.
Send it! Send it to the nations
That God's love may set men free.
