Go Ye Into All The World

Full Text

1 Far, far away, in *heathen darkness dwelling,
Millions of souls forever may be lost;
Who, who will go, salvation’s story telling,
Looking to Jesus, heeding not the cost?

Refrain:
“All pow’r is given unto Me,
All pow’r is given unto Me,
Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel,
And lo, I am with you always.”

2 See o’er the world wide open doors inviting,
Soldiers of Christ, arise and enter in!
Christians, awake! your forces all uniting,
Send forth the Gospel, break the chains of sin. [Refrain]

3 “Why will you die?” the voice of God is calling;
“Why will you die?” re-echo in His Name;
Jesus has died to save from death appalling,
Life and salvation, therefore, go proclaim. [Refrain]

[*death and]
