And people shall be heard In distant lands to say: Choir (shouted): We’ll go and serve the Lord! Lead: We’ll serve His truth, we’ll learn His way! Choir: We’ll go and serve the Lord today! (Electric guitar answers with a blues lick; organ hums under the next verse.) Verse 4 (Triumphant - Choir leads) For there we shall be taught The law that goes forth.
