An original hymn with text by Mark Fotheringham below. Watch on YouTube: The Mission (of the Church)

We will share the Gospel with all the sons of earth,

Helping each to realize the glory of his birth,

Seeking out the righteous to join our joyous throng,

Building up the kingdom while praising God in song.

We build the kingdom of Our Lord, praising God in song.

We will search the scriptures, the words that hold the truth,

Seeking for the wisdom to guide us and our youth,

Likening them to us to help us choose the right,

Seeking to perfect our lives, purified by light.

We strive to live a perfect life, purified by light.

We will build up temples to fill this earthly plane,

For our dear departed who in the grave have lain,

Waiting for our service to open up the door

To a life of covenants, on a distant shore.

We bring them to their covenants, on a distant shore.

We will bless the needy whose sufferings are sore,

Sharing all our bounty when we are blessed with more.

We shall lift and bless them with open arms to greet,

Reaching out to serve until they stand on their feet.

We serve the poor until they can stand upon their feet.
