Go forth, ye heralds, in My Name

Hymnal: Hymnal #273 (1871) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Offices of the Church Ordination or Institution of Missions Lyrics: 1 Go forth, ye heralds, in My Name, Sweetly the Gospel trumpet sound; The glorious jubilee proclaim, Where'er the human race is found. 2 The joyful news to all impart, And teach them where salvation lies; With care bind up the broken heart, And wipe the tears from weeping eyes. 3 Be wise as serpents, where you go, But harmless as the peaceful dove; With care bind up the broken heart, And wipe the tears from weeping eyes. 4 Freely from Me ye have received, Freely, in love, to others give; Thus shall your doctrines be believed, And, by your labours, sinners live.

Amen. Scripture: Acts 1:8 Tune Title: DOWN AMPNEY
