This Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Matthew 24:14
Words: Albert B. Simpson, 1897. Appeared in Hymns of the Christian Life No. 3 (New York: Alliance Press, 1904), number 197.
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.
