Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

Spread, O spread, thou mighty word 
Spread, O spread, thou mighty Word, spread the kingdom of the Lord, whersoe'er his breath has given, life to beings meant for heaven. 
Tell them how the Father's will made the world, and keeps it still, how he sent his Son to save all who help and comfort crave. 
Tell of our Redeemer's love, who forever doth remove by his holy sacrifice all the guilt that on us lies. 
Tell them of the Spirit given now to guide us up to heaven, strong and holy, just and true, working both to will and do. 
Word of life, most pure and strong, lo! for thee the nations long, spread, till from its dreary night all the world awakes to light. 
Up! the ripening fields ye see, mighty shall the harvest be; but the reapers still are few, great the work they have to do. 
Lord of harvest, let there be joy and strength to work for thee, till the nations, far and near, see thy light, and learn thy fear.
