Author: John Logan, 1748-1788 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #219 (2011) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal First Line: Go forth, ye heralds, in My name Lyrics: 1 Go forth, ye heralds, in My name,
Sweetly the gospel trumpet sound;
The glorious jubilee proclaim
Where'er the human race is found.
2 The joyful news to all impart,
And teach them where salvation lies;
With care bind up the broken heart,
And wipe the tears from weeping eyes.
3 Be wise as serpents where you go,
But harmless as the peaceful dove;
And let your heaven-taught conduct show
That you're commissioned from above.
4 Freely from Me ye have received;
Freely, in love, to others give;
Thus, shall your doctrines be believed,
And by your labors sinners live. Topics: The Gospel; Gospel Tidings; Morning; Peace Scripture: Mark 16:15 Languages: English Tune Title: DUKE STREET
