Far, far away, in hea­then dark­ness dwell­ing,
[or in death and dark­ness dwell­ing]
Millions of souls for­ev­er may be lost;
Who, who will go, sal­va­tion’s sto­ry tell­ing,
Looking to Je­sus, heed­ing not the cost?

Refrain

All pow­er is giv­en un­to Me,
All pow­er is giv­en unto Me,
Go ye in­to all the world and preach the Gos­pel,
And lo, I am with you al­ways.

See o’er the world wide op­en doors in­vit­ing,
Soldiers of Christ, arise and en­ter in!
Christians, awake! your forces all unit­ing,
Send forth the Gos­pel, break the chains of sin.

Refrain

Why will you die? the voice of God is call­ing.
Why will you die? re-ec­ho in His name;
Jesus has died to save from death ap­pall­ing,
Life and sal­va­tion, there­fore go pro­claim.

Refrain

God speed the day, when those of ev­ery na­tion
Glory to God tri­um­phant­ly shall sing.
Ransomed, re­deemed, re­joic­ing in sal­va­tion,
Shout Hal­le­lu­jah, for the Lord is king.
