Go Tell Everyone

"Go Tell Everyone" is a joyful, rhythmic sending-forth hymn that captures the very heart of the Christian mission. With its bright melody and direct, conversational lyrics, it feels less like a formal choral piece and more like a personal marching order. In our parishes, this is a beloved choice for the recessional, sending the congregation out of the church doors with a clear, uplifting mandate to share the Gospel.

The text draws directly from the words of Christ, echoing his call to bring good news to the poor, sight to the blind, and freedom to the captive. As the choir leads the refrain—"and go tell everyone the news that the Kingdom of God has come"—it creates a wonderful moment of shared purpose. The later verses, reminding us not to worry about what to pack or what to say, offer a comforting reassurance that God's spirit equips us for the work ahead. It is a perfect song for ordinations, mission Sundays, or any Mass where we are reminded of our call to be witnesses in the world.
