Lyrics

Send the Gos­pel of sal­va­tion,
To a world of dy­ing men;
Tell it out to ev­ery na­tion,
’Till the Lord shall come again.

Refrain

Go and tell them, go and tell them,
Jesus died for sin­ful men;
Go and tell them, go and tell them,
He is com­ing back again.

’Tis the Church’s great com­miss­ion,
’Tis the Mas­ter’s last com­mand;
Christ has died for ev­ery crea­ture,
Tell it out in ev­ery land.

Refrain

Tell it out to Chi­na’s mill­ions,
Tell it out in fair Ja­pan;
Tell it by the migh­ty Con­go,
Tell it in the dark Su­dan.

Refrain

’Mid the lone Ti­bet­an mount­ains,
By the Ori­no­co’s strand;
O’er the burn­ing plains of In­dia,
Tell it out in ev­ery land.
