Go Make of All Disciples

That comes from you, our Father
In Your eternal Word.
Inspire our ways of learning
Through earnest fervent prayer
And let our daily living
Reveal you everywhere.Verse 2

Of Father Son and Spirit
From age to age the same.
We call each new disciple
To follow you O Lord.
Redeeming soul and body
By water and the WordVerse 3

We at Your feet would stay
Until each life's vocation
Accents Your holy way.
We cultivate the nature
God plants in every heart
Revealing in our witness
The Master Teacher's art.Verse 4
"Go make of all disciples".
We welcome Your command
"Lo, I am with you always".
We take Your guiding hand.
The task looms large before us
We follow without fear.
In heaven and earth Your power
Shall bring God's kingdom here.
