Far, far away, in heathen darkness dwelling,
Millions of souls for ever may be lost;
Who, who will go? salvation’s story telling,
Looking to Jesus, counting not the cost.
Millions of souls for ever may be lost;
Who, who will go? salvation’s story telling,
Looking to Jesus, counting not the cost.
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.
Why will ye die? the voice of God is calling,
Why will ye die? re-echo in His name;
Jesus hath died to save from death appalling;
Life and salvation therefore go, proclaim.
God speed the day when those of every nation
Glory to God triumphantly shall sing;
Ransomed, redeemed, rejoicing in salvation,
Shout Hallelujah, for the Lord is King!
[chorus]
All power is given unto Me;
All power is given unto Me;
Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel;
And lo, I am with you alway.
