Lord, You Give The Great Commission | Sunday of the Word of God | Catholic/Christian Hymn w/Lyrics

Описание: “Lord, You Give the Great Commission” is a beautiful hymn of Christ’s Great Commission found in three of the Gospel accounts, perhaps the most famous of which is Matthew’s version: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matt. 28:19-20)

Stanza one of the hymn states boldly the mission of the church: “Heal the sick and preach the word” and “witness to your purpose with renewed integrity.” The second stanza focuses on our “service” which is to “baptize and preach” in Christ’s name. A brief refrain invokes the Holy Spirit to empower the work of the church in its ministry.

Recorded live by the Sunday 7pm Choir at St. Francis de Sales Parish in Ajax, Ontario Canada. Thanks for listening and God bless! 🙏

Lyrics

Lord, you give the great commission:
"Heal the sick and preach the word."
Lest the church neglect its mission
and the gospel go unheard,
help us witness to your purpose
with renewed integrity:
With the Spirit's gifts empower
us for the work of ministry.

Lord, you call us to your service:
"In my name baptize and teach."
That the world may trust your promise,
life abundant meant for each,
give us all new fervor, draw us
closer in community:
With the Spirit's gifts empower
us for the work of ministry.
