J. Demster Hammond (1880) • English
Primary Scripture: Matthew 24:14
Verse 1
The whole wide world for Jesus! This shall our watchword be; Upon the highest mountain, Down by the widest sea; The whole wide world for Jesus! To Him shall all men bow, In city or in prairie— The world for Jesus now!
Chorus
The whole wide world, The whole wide world— Proclaim the Gospel tidings through the whole wide world; Lift up the cross for Jesus, his banner be unfurled, Till every tongue confess Him through the whole wide world!
Verse 2
The whole wide world for Jesus Inspires us with the thought That all God's wandering childen Have by his love been bought. The whole wide world for Jesus! O faint not by the way! The cross shall surely conquer In this our glorious day.
Chorus
The whole wide world, The whole wide world— Proclaim the Gospel tidings through the whole wide world; Lift up the cross for Jesus, his banner be unfurled, Till every tongue confess Him through the whole wide world!
Verse 3
The whole wide world for Jesus! The marching order sound: Go ye and preach the gospel Wherever man is found. The whole wide world for Jesus! Ride forth, O conquering King, Through all the mighty nations, The world to glory bring!
Chorus
The whole wide world, The whole wide world— Proclaim the Gospel tidings through the whole wide world; Lift up the cross for Jesus, his banner be unfurled, Till every tongue confess Him through the whole wide world!
