About this Hymn
This hymn reflects the tremendous missionary zeal and enthusiasm of its author, Jim Seddon, who spent twenty-two years of his ministry working for BCMS (now known as Crosslinks) both overseas and at home. The main thrust of the hymn is reflective of Christ's final command to his disciples to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations (Matt. 28:19–20). – Edward Darling & Donald Davison
Lyrics
Verse 1
Go forth and tell! O church of God, awake! God's saving news to all the nations take: proclaim Christ Jesus, Savior, Lord, and King, that all the world his glorious praise may sing.
Verse 2
Go forth and tell! God's love embraces all; he will in grace respond to all who call: how shall they call if they have never heard the gracious invitation of his word?
Verse 3
Go forth and tell! The doors are open wide: share God's good gifts— let no one be denied; live out your life as Christ your Lord shall choose, your ransomed pow'rs for his sole glory use.
Verse 4
Go forth and tell! O church of God, arise! Go in the strength which Christ your Lord supplies; go till all nations his great name adore and serve him, Lord and King forevermore.
