Go Tell the Gospel Truth


"Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake Thy law" (Psalm 119:53).  "If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death… doth not He that pondereth the heart consider it?  And He that keepeth thy soul, doth not He know it?" (Proverbs 24:11,12).  "The Word of the LORD that came to Joel… Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation" (Joel 1:1,3).  "Go quickly, and tell His disciples… Go ye therefore, and teach all nations" (Matthew 28:7,19). 

How blest are those who gladly choose
To trust in Christ for their salvation. 
Should not we warn those who refuse
God's great escape from condemnation? 

The lost are marching to their graves
As God appoints us now to tell
That there is no one else who saves
But Christ, who rescues us from hell.  

The Word that prophets have foretold
Is ours to pass on to our youth,
So they may rise up and be bold
To go and tell the Gospel truth. 

O Lord, Your great commission stands;
We go and tell whom we may reach
As Gospel truth to many lands
Goes forth by those You send to teach.
