We must ever preach the gospel

We must ever preach the gospel,
Holding forth the word of life.
We must never shirk our duty;
Saving man from sin and strife.

We must ever preach the gospel,
Thus our friends and neighbors gain;
House to house with vital partners,
That our new ones will remain.

We must ever preach the gospel,
Cherishing and nourishing;
Loving them as our dear children,
As our priestly offering.

We must ever preach the gospel
By perfecting in the homes
Through the word and prayer and singing,
Never laboring alone.

We must ever preach the gospel,
Learning how to prophesy
For the building of the Body,
Thus the Lord to glorify.
