Into the world with a mis­sion,
Kept by His boun­ti­ful care,
God the kind Fa­ther has sent us,
Tidings of Je­sus to bear.

Refrain

Help us to know Thee, dear Sav­ior,
Simple and pure as Thou art;
Then in the spir­it of meek­ness
May we Thy love-light im­part.

Happy of heart is the Chris­tian,
Cheered by a pre­sence di­vine;
Jesus be­side him is walk­ing,
Giving him pow­er to shine.

Refrain

Gloomy and dark are the sha­dows,
Where sin and sor­row abound;
Jesus would have His dis­ci­ples
Spreading His sun­shine around.

Refrain

This, then, shall be our en­dea­vor,
Loyal dis­ci­ples to be;
Lighting the dark­ness for Je­sus,
Shining, dear Sav­ior, for Thee.
