Spread, O spread,
thou mighty word,
spread the kingdom of the Lord,
that to earth’s remotest bound
all may heed the joyful sound:
word of how the Father’s will
made the world, and keeps it, still;
how his only Son he gave,
earth from sin and death to save;
word of how the Savior’s love
earth’s sore burden doth remove;
how forever, in its need,
through his death the world is freed;
word of how the Spirit came
bringing peace in Jesus’ name,
how his never failing love
guides us on the heaven above.
Word of life, most
pure and strong,
word for which the nations long,
spread abroad, until from night
all the world awakes to light.
