Go preach my Gospel, saith the Lord
Come, happy Souls, approach your God

With new melodious Songs;
Come, tender to almighty Grace
The Tribute of your Tongues.

That pity'd dying Men,
The Father sent his equal Son
To give them Life again.
3 Thy Hands, dear Jesus, were not arme'd
With a revenging Rod;
No hard Commission to perform
The Vengeance of a God.
4 But all was Mercy, all was mild,
And Wrath forsook the Throne;
When Christ on the kind Errand came,
And brought Salvation down.
5 Here, Sinners, you may heal your Wounds,
And wipe your Sorrows dry;
Trust in the mighty Saviour's Name,
And you shall never die.

Accept thine offer'd Grace;

And give the Father Praise. Languages: English

And Wrath stood silent by,
When Christ was sent with Pardon down,
To Rebels doom'd to die.
5 Now Sinners, dry your Tears,
Let hopeless Sorrow cease;
Bow to the Sceptre of his Love,
And take the offer'd Peace.

We lay an humble Claim
To the Salvation thou hast brought,
And love and praise thy Name. Languages: English

Peter Said, "I'm Going Fishing"
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Hymnal: Singing the New Testament #112 (2008) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Sending/Commission Lyrics: 1 Peter said, "I'm going fishing,"
so his friends went out with him.
Through the night, they labored, watching,
hauling empty nets back in.
In the grey of early morning,
Jesus, you came walking by.
From the beach you called a greeting,
"Cast out on the other side!"
2 Soon their nets were filled to brimming;
someone cried, "It is the Lord!"
Jumping in, he started swimming;
Christ, you met him on the shore.
Guiding them to better waters,
eating fish and sharing bread -
you showed Peter and the others:
You were risen from the dead!
3 Risen Christ, you send us fishing!
God's great sea is everywhere.
you have guided us in mission,
you have given love to share.
Through the years, our church has heard you,
we have answered your great call:
"Cast your nets where I have told you.
Bring my Word of love to all!"
4 Lord, be with our congregation;
by your Spirit, send us forth!
May we care for your creation;
may we work for peace on earth.
In our worship, in our giving,
in our serving those in need,
may we know, Lord; you are living,
guiding us in ministry.

The Saviour, when to heaven He rose
Author: Dr. Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #266 (1917) Topics: Ministry Commission of Lyrics: 1 The Saviour, when to heaven He rose,
In splendid triumph o'er His foes,
Scattered His gifts on men below,
And wide His royal bounties flow.

Sacred beyond heroic fame;
In lowlier forms before our eyes,
Pastors from hence, and teachers rise.
3 From Christ their varied gifts derive,
And fed by Christ their graces live;
While guarded by His mighty hand,
Midst all the rage of hell they stand.
4 So shall the bright succession run
Through the last courses of the sun;
While unborn churches by their care,
Shall rise and flourish large and fair.
5 Jesus, now teach our hearts to know
The spring whence all these blessings flow;
Pastors and people shout Thy praise
Through the long round of endless days. Languages: English Tune Title: DUKE STREET

Of gospel blessings send,
And let the soul-converting power

For fuller joys above. Languages: English Tune Title: SHERBOURNE

Hark, the Voice of Jesus Calling
Author: Daniel March Hymnal: Hymns to the Living God #296 (2017) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Commission Lyrics: 1 Hark, the voice of Jesus crying,
"Who will go and work today?
Fields are ripe and harvests waiting;
Who will bear the sheaves away?"
Long and loud the Master calls us,
rich reward He offers free;
who will answer, gladly saying,
"Here am I, send me, send me"?
2 If you cannot cross the ocean,
and the distant lands explore,
you can find the lost around you,
you can help them at your door.
If you cannot give your thousands,
you can give the widow's mite;
what you truly give for Jesus,
will be precious in His sight.
3 If you cannot be the watchman
standing high on Zion's wall,
pointing out the path to heaven,
off'ring life and peace to all,
with your pray'rs and with your bounties
you can do what heav'n demands;
you can be like faithful Aaron,
holding up the prophet's hands.
4 Let none hear you idly saying,
"There is nothing I can do,"
while the lost of earth are dying,
and the Master calls for you;
take the task He gives you gladly;
let His work your pleasure be;
answer quickly when He calls you,
"Here am I, send me, send me."

raise the song of harvest home.
All is safely gathered in
ere the winter storms begin.
God, our Maker, doth provide
for our wants to be supplied;
come to God's own temple, come,
raise the song of harvest home.
2 All the world is God's own field,
fruit unto His praise to yield,
wheat and tares together sown,
unto joy or sorrow grown.
First the blade, and then the ear,
then the full corn shall appear,
Lord of harvest, grant that we
wholesome grain and pure may be.
3 For the Lord our God shall come
and shall take His harvest home;
from His field shall in that day
all offenses purge away,
give His angels charge at last
in the fire the tares to cast,
but the fruitful ears to store
in His garner evermore.
4 Even so, Lord, quickly come
to Thy final harvest home;
gather Thou Thy people in,
free from sorrow, free from sin,
there forever purified,
in Thy presence to abide.
Come, with all Thine angels, come,
raise the glorious harvest home. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR

thine earthly loss is heav'nly gain;

thy willing heart to mark and cheer;
no toil for Him shall be in vain.

the world's dark night is hast'ning on.
Speed, speed thy work, cast sloth away;
It is not thus that souls are won.

be wise the erring soul to win;
go forth into the world's highway,
compel the wand'rer to come in.
6 Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice;
for toil comes rest, for exile home;
soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom's voice,
the midnight peal, "Behold, I come." Languages: English Tune Title: SONG 34
