Representative Text

1 Go in the strength of the Master
Into the hovels of sin,
And in the name of our Saviour
Gather the fallen ones in;
Into the field of his mercy,
Ere they have drifted away
Out of your reach, O my brother,
Tell them of Jesus today.

Refrain:
Tell them of Jesus, tell them of Jesus,
Tell them, oh, tell them of Jesus today;
Seek out the lost, oh, seek out the straying,
Tell them of Jesus today.

2 Go with the wonderful story
Unto each soul astray,
Wand’ring afar from the homeland,
Bring them to Jesus today;
Tell of his mercy so boundless,
Tell of his love all divine,
That thro’ the deepest of sorrows
Still for his children doth shine. [Refrain]

3 Go in the name of the Saviour,
Bear them the message so sweet;
Jesus will welcome the wand’rer,
Help them to kneel at his feet;
He will receive and forgive them,
Tho’ they have wandered away,
Far from his love and his teaching,
Tell them of Jesus today. [Refrain]
