The Cyber Hymnal ‎#1672

1672. For the Whole Wide World

1. Of one blood God hath made all the nations of the earth,
Over all His banner wide unfurled;
And He bids us to go and His saving grace proclaim
To the whole wide world.

Refrain
For the whole wide world,
For the whole wide world;
Jesus dying brought a full salvation
For the whole wide world.

2. To the lanes and the highways and byways we must go,
Till the pow’rs of sin are backward hurled;
And the streams of His grace shall for cleansing onward flow
To the whole wide world. [Refrain]

3. We must carry the Gospel to earth’s remotest bound,
Men are dying for the precious Word;
Until every nation has heard the joyful sound
In the whole wide world. [Refrain]
