Christ Jesus has commanded us
To go to all the world;
To win the lost ones back to Him,
And teach them of His Word;
As messengers for Him we go
With this great task our aim,
That people of all nations might
Give honor to His name.
Refrain
Co-laborers, co-laborers,
As one we all agree,
To win and teach this world for Christ,
Our mission here shall be.
For each lost soul in all this world
Is precious in His sight;
Then may we win and teach
Them in the blessèd way of right.
Co-laborers for Him we go
In whate’er field or land,
That we may do our Father’s will
And carry out His plan.
Refrain
His mighty pow’r is over us,
He leads us all the way;
His presence we assurance have
While toiling day by day.
Upon the conqu’ring side are we
In this most glorious task,
And when our work on earth is done
We’ll see His face at last.
Refrain
