Representative Text

1 If you want the world to love the blessed Lamb of Calvary,
You should make his goodness known to those who rove;
Spread the gospel light around you wheresoever you may be,
Sing and tell the tender story of his love.

Refrain:
If you want the world to love the precious Savior,
Strive to do your best for him each passing day;
Let his love your heart oe’rflow, praise him everywhere you go;
Be a blessing for the Master all the way.

2 If you want the world to love him you should let the wayward know
That He keeps you all the while from sin and strife;
By your speech and by your actions to the world around you show
That his precious love is gladdening your life. [Refrain]

3 If you want the world to love him, lesson sorrow, sin, and doubt,
Show the wanderer the pathway to his feet;
From your soul each hour and moment let the gospel sunshine out,
Show your love for him to every one you meet. [Refrain]
