Lyrics

Go forth and tell the sto­ry
Of God’s re­deeming love,
The mes­sage of sal­va­tion
As giv­en from above.

Refrain

The whole world needs Je­sus,
Needs Je­sus, needs Je­sus!
Go forth and tell the Gos­pel sto­ry,
Everywhere that sin is found.

The souls of ev­ery na­tion
Are pre­cious in His sight;
Oh, give to them the Gos­pel
That they may see the light!

Refrain

The Sav­ior came from Hea­ven,
This mis­sion to ful­fill,
That sin might be for­giv­en
And all might know His will.

Refrain

Then send the Gos­pel mes­sage
Wherever sin may be,
At home, and to the na­tions
Across the roll­ing sea.
