469. Go in the Name of the Master

1 Go in the strength of the Master,
Go, ‘twas his parting command,
Seeking the lost ones to gather,
Scattered abroad o’er the land.
Lost, yet he tenderly loves them,
Precious are they in his sight;
You he commissions to bring them
Back to the truth and the right.

Refrain:
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Tell them his blood washes whiter than snow;
Go! Go! Go!

2 Go now in youth’s early morning,
Gather the wand’rers of earth;
Seek for his bright crown’s adorning
Lost gems of fabulous worth.
Go while the bright sun is shining;
Now is salvation’s glad hour;
Go ere the day is declining,
Go in the time of his pow’r. [Refrain]

3 Go, and the Lord will go with thee,
Keeping thy feet in the way;
Wisdom and strength he will give thee,
Teaching thee what thou shouldst say.
Faithful until he shall call thee
Home to receive thy reward;
Hear his “Well done, good and faithful:
Enter the joys of thy Lord.” [Refrain]
