Go Ye

Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association · Battle Creek, Mich. · Mar 18, 1902

WHEN our ever-living Saviour passed away from earthly eyes, Sounded forth this great commandment from the eager, opening skies: “Go ye, go ye, teach all nations, boldly teach them and baptize.”

So they went, those men anointed with the power from on high; So they went to sneers and hunger, to the mob’s vindictive cry; Went to suffer racking tortures and triumphantly to die.

All their life was but one purpose, that the life of Christ should be Spread abroad among earth’s millions, as the waters fill the sea. So the heroes died, and, dying, left their task for you and me.
