Go forth in peace by Thurlow Weed — Lyrics
1. Go forth in peace and praising, refreshed, in faith restored;redeemed by Christ's blood offered; made whole at God's own Board;one cup for every nation, brimfull for all to share;such grace beyond all measure; such love beyond compare.
2. Go forth in hope and power, Christ's body, broken then,for those who mourned at Calv'ry revives the soul again.May we, like them, see vict'ry through eyes washed clean with tears;his flesh, the bread of heaven, sustains us through the years.

About Go forth in peace
This hymn offers a powerful call to action, urging believers to 'go forth in peace and praising, refreshed, in faith restored.' The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic exploration, particularly as the text moves through themes of redemption, hope, and service. The English lyrics reflect on Christ's sacrifice, the nourishment of the Eucharist, and the example of His followers. It speaks of grace and love beyond measure, of renewed souls through remembrance of the Cross, and of the ultimate calling to show justice, mercy, and compassion to the world, guided by Christ. This is a thoughtful and inspiring text for a choir aiming to convey a message of spiritual renewal and active discipleship.
