The Wide World for Jesus

Verse 1

The whole wide world for Jesus! For His is its domain, And His is the dominion, From sea to sea to reign; To Him the kings of Sheba Their royal gifts shall bring, And isles afar their tribute, Shall render to their King.

Verse 2

The whole wide world for Jesus! O Church of Christ, awake! Put on thy strength, O Zion, Thy posts of duty take; Go forth upon thy mission, In Jesus’ name alone, Till earth, with all her millions, His sov’reignty shall own.

Verse 3

The whole wide world for Jesus! Rejoice, ye saints, anew! For brightly scenes prophetic Are looming into view; The world from sleep is waking, To sink in night no more, For Jesus soon, triumphant, Shall reign from shore to shore.
