1 Spread abroad, O mighty Word,
telling of a gracious Lord
whose all-pow'rful gospel call
fills his heav'nly banquet hall.

2 Tell how God the Father's will
made the world, upholds it still,
how his only Son he gave
all from sin and death to save.

3 Tell of our Redeemer's love,
who forever does remove
by his holy sacrifice
all the guilt that on us lies.

4 Tell of God the Spirit giv'n
now to guide us on to heav'n,
strong and holy, just and true,
working both to will and do.

5 Spread abroad! Ripe fields of grain
all throughout the world remain,
but the reapers still are few;
great the work they have to do.

6 Lord of harvest, great and kind,
rouse to action heart and mine;
let the gath'ring nations all
see your light and heed your call.
