Spread, O spread, almighty word,
spread the kingdom of the Lord,
where the breath of God has given
life to people meant for heaven.
Tell them how the Father's will
made the world, and keeps it still;
how his only Son he gave
all from sin and death to save.
Tell of our Redeemer's love,
who, for ever to remove
all the guilt that on us lies,
gave himself as sacrifice.
