|
| 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, counting not the |
| | cost? |
| | "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 alway." |
| 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. |
| 3. | "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. |
