Teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
Matthew 28:19

Let us do something for others,
Moments are passing away;
Jesus will bless all those in distress,
If they come today;
O, there are many about us,
Living in darkness and sin
That we could help to the Savior,
Life and its blessings to win!
Refrain
Help them, help them,
That they their Savior may see;
Help them, help them—
What a rejoicing there’ll be!
And when our warfare is over,
We shall with loved ones sit down,
Sharing the glories of Heaven,
Wearing a beautiful crown.
Refrain
O we can find, if we’re earnest,
Many in need of our care,
And we can light those living in night,
Lured by Satan’s snare!
Let us not go empty handed
Unto our Savior and Lord,
And we’ll not be disappointed,
When we receive our reward.
Refrain
Let us keep praying and helping
Others as conqu’rers to rise;
Jesus demands true hearts, willing hands,
May we then be wise;
And when our work here is ended,
Safe on the heavenly shore,
With those we’ve helped to the Savior,
Joy shall be ours evermore.
Refrain
