98. The Whole Wide World for Jesus

1 The whole wide world for Jesus!
This shall our watchword be;
Upon the highest mountain,
Down by the widest sea;
The whole wide world for Jesus!
To Him shall all men bow,
In city or in prairie—
The world for Jesus now!

Refrain:
The whole wide world,
The whole wide world—
Proclaim the Gospel tidings through the whole wide world;
Lift up the cross for Jesus, his banner be unfurled,
Till every tongue confess Him through the whole wide world!

2 The whole wide world for Jesus
Inspires us with the thought
That all God's wandering childen
Have by his love been bought.
The whole wide world for Jesus!
O faint not by the way!
The cross shall surely conquer
In this our glorious day. [Refrain]

3 The whole wide world for Jesus!
The marching order sound:
Go ye and preach the gospel
Wherever man is found.
The whole wide world for Jesus!
Ride forth, O conquering King,
Through all the mighty nations,
The world to glory bring! [Refrain]
