1 "Go ye into all the world!"
'Tis the loving Lord's command;
Let His banner be unfurled
Over ev'ry land.
Refrain:
Go ye, go ye, Preach the gospel to every creature,
Go ye, go ye, I am with you, alway.
Go ye into all the world, into all the world, into all the world,
Preach to ev'ry creature,
Go ye into all the world, into all the world, I am with you alway.
2 Go ye to the souls that mourn,
With the gracious gospel call;
Tell how Christ their griefs has borne–
How He died for all. [Refrain]
3 Go ye to the souls that grope,
Seeking light and finding none;
Tell them of the Christian's hope,
Tell what Christ has done. [Refrain]

Jessie Brown Pounds was born in Hiram, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland on 31 August 1861. She was not in good health when she was a child so she was taught at home. She began to write verses for the Cleveland newspapers and religious weeklies when she was fifteen. After an editor of a collection of her verses noted that some of them would be well suited for church or Sunday School hymns, J. H. Fillmore wrote to her asking her to write some hymns for a book he was publishing. She then regularly wrote hymns for Fillmore Brothers. She worked as an editor with Standard Publishing Company in Cincinnati from 1885 to 1896, when she married Rev. John E. Pounds, who at that time was a pastor of the Central Christian Church in Indianapolis.
