Go forth with joy and glad­ness,
Go forth with love and song;
All hon­or, praise and glo­ry
To Christ our Lord be­long.

Refrain

He has re­deemed us by His blood.
Redeemed us from our sin;
Gather all the lost ones to His fold,
O haste, and bring them in.

Go forth with joy and glad­ness,
And spread the news afar;
Behold, He sends be­fore us
A bright and love­ly star.

Refrain

Go forth with joy and glad­ness,
Proclaim the wel­come sound,
Till all shall hear the sto­ry
To earth’s re­mot­est bound.
