Travel gently, hymn — Sam Goodman, UK

Tune: Yield not to temptation

Hear God call in silence
Pray to hear God’s word
Stay true to the message
Learn from what we’ve heard
Be clear as disciples
To reach out to all
Just listen for mercy
Lift those who may fall

Chorus
Travel gently and lightly
Know that God travels with us
Bring a message of kindness
Share a gospel of love

Here God comes to nurture
To hold and protect
Hopeful hearts bear witness
Faith helps us connect
Trust lightens our burdens
Redemption forgives
Your love carries us through
So we fully live

Chorus

From this place we take love
To where there is need
Some seeds to be nourished
All people to feed
Cross land and cross oceans
Go into God’s fields
Put love into motion
God’s harvest will yield

Chorus
