Lyrics

Of one blood God hath made
All the na­tions of the earth,

Over all His ban­ner wide un­furled;
And He bids us to go
And His sav­ing grace pro­claim
To the whole wide world.

Refrain

For the whole wide world,
For the whole wide world;
Jesus dy­ing brought a full sal­va­tion
For the whole wide world.

To the lanes and the high­ways
And by­ways we must go,
Till the pow’rs of sin are back­ward hurled;
And the streams of His grace
Shall for cleans­ing on­ward flow
To the whole wide world.

Refrain

We must car­ry the Gos­pel
To earth’s re­mot­est bound,
Men are dy­ing for the pre­cious Word;
Until ev­ery na­tion
Has heard the joy­ful sound
In the whole wide world.
