1 Spread, O spread, thou mighty Word,
Spread the kingdom of the Lord,
That in earth's remotest bound
Men may hear thy joyful sound.

2 Tell them of the Savior's love,
Who descended from above
And whose blood, for sinners spilt,
Purgeth us from all our guilt.

3 Word of life, most pure and strong,
Lo, for thee the nations long;
Spread, then, till from dreary night
All the world awakes to light.

Amen.
