Thanks be to God, whose Church on earth
Has stood the tests of time and place,
And everywhere proclaims new birth
Through Christ whose love
reveals God’s face.
Thanks be to God, whose spirit sent
Apostles out upon his way;
From east to west the message went;
On Greek and Roman dawned the day.
Thanks be to God, whose later voice
From west to east sent back the word
Which, through the servants of his choice,
At last in every tongue was heard.
Thanks be to God who now would reach
His listeners in more global ways;
Now each will send the news, and each
Receive and answer it in praise.
Thanks be to God, in whom we share
Today the mission of his Son:
May all his Church that time prepare
When, like the task, the world is one.
