Lyrics

Lord, send us forth to preach the Word
Wherever man is found;
Till every soul of Thee has heard
The whole wide world around.

Refrain

Lord, send us forth, O send to­day;
Baptize us with Thy might;
As her­alds speed us on our way,
To those who grope for light.

Lord, send us forth as those who bear
Glad tid­ings from the throne;
With joy the mes­sage to de­clare
Till earth Thy sway shall own.

Refrain

Lord, send us forth, nor staff nor scrip,
But on­ly in Thy might;
Thy Spir­it touch­ing heart and lip
To guide and keep aright.

Refrain

Lord, send us forth, the faith sup­ply,
The sow­ing time is ours;
Thine be the har­vest by and by,
Beyond the gra­cious show­ers.
