Lyrics

Go ye into all the world,
Was Je­sus’ last com­mand;
Let His ban­ner be un­furled
In every dark­ened land.

Refrain

Preach the word, re­pent, be­lieve;
Tell the world the Sav­ior’s love;
Freely give as ye re­ceive
Countless bless­ings from above.

To all peo­ple preach the word,
Baptizing ev­ery one;
Linger not till all have heard
The mes­sage of God’s Son.

Refrain

Preach the Gos­pel ev­ery­where
Till Christ to all is known;
Tell them of the man­sions fair
Prepared for all His own.

Refrain

Lo I’m with you all the way,
The bless­èd Sav­ior said;
To the realms of end­less day
His loved ones shall be led.
