Lyrics

Christ Jesus has commanded us to go in all the world;
To win the lost ones back to Him, and teach them in His Word;
As messengers for Him we go with this great task our aim,
That people of all nations might give honor to His name.

Refrain

Co-laborers, co-laborers,
Together with God are we;
To win and teach this world for Christ,
Our mission here shall be.

For each lost soul in all this world is precious in His sight;
Then may we win and teach them in the blessèd way of right.
Co-laborers for Him we go in whate’er field or land,
That we may do our Father’s will and carry out His plan.

Refrain

His mighty pow’r is over us, He leads us all the way;
His presence we assurance have while toiling day by day.
Upon the conqu’ring side are we in this most glorious task,
And when our work on earth is done we’ll see His face at last.

Refrain
