Couplet 1

Facing a task unfinished
That drives us to our knees
A need that undiminished
Rebukes our slothful ease
We who rejoice to know Thee
Renew before
Thy throne
The solemn pledge
We owe Thee
To go and make Thee known

Couplet 2

Where other lords
Beside Thee
Hold their unhindered sway
Where forces that
Defied Thee
Defy Thee still today
With none to heed
Their crying
For life and love and light
Unnumbered
Souls are dying
And pass into the night

Refrain

We go to all the world
With kingdom
Hope unfurled
No other name has
Power to save
But Jesus Christ the Lord

Couplet 3

We bear the torch
That flaming
Fell from the hands of those
Who gave their lives
Proclaiming
That Jesus died and rose
Ours is the same commission
The same glad message ours
Fired by the same ambition
To Thee we yield our powers

Refrain

We go to all the world
With kingdom
Hope unfurled
No other name has
Power to save
But Jesus Christ the Lord

Couplet 4

O Father who sustained them
O Spirit who inspired
Saviour whose love
Constrained them
To toil with zeal untired
From cowardice defend us
From lethargy awake
Forth on Thine errands send us
To labour for Thy sake

Refrain

We go to all the world
With kingdom
Hope unfurled
No other name has
Power to save
But Jesus Christ the Lord

Refrain

We go to all the world
His kingdom
Hope unfurled
No other name has
Power to save
But Jesus Christ the Lord
