SEND FORTH YOUR MESSENGERS

Send forth your messengers, O Lord,

They will spread your light

To all the world around,

They will sing of your glory, alleluia!

Send forth your disciples, Lord Jesus,

Your light they will spread everywhere,

Your truth they will tell to all the nations,

They'll sing of your glory around.

You chose us from all time, your messengers to be,

To raise our light aloft for all the world to see.

Today we hear your voice, we harken to your call

And joyously we come to bring your word to all.

Give us your grace, O Lord, to follow where you trod

And thus to spend our days in service to our God.

We have been asked by you to share

your life with those

Who, strangers though they be,

seek from you their repose.
