Let us send the Gos­pel mes­sage
Far across the ocean wave,
To the mill­ions who have nev­er
Heard of Je­sus’ pow­er to save;
To the peo­ple who are liv­ing
In a land of dark­est gloom
Where they have no thought of Heav­en,
And no hope be­yond the tomb.

Refrain

Let us send the mes­sage, blessèd Gos­pel mes­sage,
That the na­tions may all hear of Je­sus’ name;
Let us send the mes­sage, bless­èd Gos­pel mes­sage,
That the hea­then may be saved from sin and shame.

In our minds now, let us pic­ture
Such a pe­ople, such a land,
And our­selves among the num­ber,
With no sign of help­ing hand.
O the pain, the bit­ter sor­row
Of a life in such a place,
Ne’er to feel the peace and com­fort
Of the Sav­ior’s par­don­ing grace!

Refrain

Brethren, sist­ers, ’tis our du­ty,
And our pri­vi­lege as well,
To this lost and dy­ing peo­ple
Of a Sav­ior’s love to tell.
Jesus said, Go teach all na­tions;
Dare we slight His last com­mand?
No, we’ll send the Gos­pel mes­sage
Into ev­ery hea­then land.
