Text:Sound the truth abroad
Tune:[Sound, sound the truth abroad!]

69. Sound the truth abroad

1 Sound, sound the truth abroad!
Bear ye the word of God
Thro' the wide world;
Tell what our Lord has done,
Tell how the day is won,
Tell from his lofty throne
Satan is hurled,

2 Far over sea and land,
Go, at your Lord's command
Bear ye His name;
Bear it to every shore,
Regions unknown explore,
Enter at every door,
Silence is shame.
