Scripture
Matthew 28:19
Verse 1
"Go, preach My gospel," saith the Lord;
"Bid the whole world My grace receive;
He shall be saved who trusts My word,
And they condemned who disbelieve.
Verse 2
"I'll make your great commission known,
And ye shall prove My gospel true
By all the works that I have done,
By all the wonders ye shall do.
Verse 3
"Teach all the nations My commands;
I'm with you till the world shall end;
All power is vested in My hands;
I can destroy, and I defend."
Verse 4
He spake, and light shone round His head;
On a brigh cloud to heaven He rode;
They to the farthest nations spread
The grace of their ascended Lord.
