When I Go

When I go, I go 
with tidings to bear, I go;
For every soul must know 
either they be far or near; 
That we can rise, we can 
only if we care.  

On and on I’ll go 
to spread love round, I go; 
A love that for ever will flow 
and like the sun, ‘twill shine; 
A love that feeds and gives 
not one that raids and pines.  

When I go, I go
out to the world, I go;
For out I go to sow 
stars to fill up the night;
Even a moon to glow 
And cast soft rays of light.  

Oh! When I go, I go 
With scarce a fear, I go;
Till every soul doth know 
how to love, not hate.
