The Golden Sheaf ‎#46

46. I Must Go

1 I must go, when Jesus calls me;
Over mountain, plain, or glen,
And make known this great salvation,
To the dying sons of men.
We must tell the wondrous story,
We must make the message ring,
While we wait the coming glory,
Of our blessed Lord and King.

Chorus:
We must tell the wondrous story,
We must make the message ring,
While we wait the coming glory,
Of our blessed Lord and King.

2 I must go where'er he sends me,
Toiling not for wealth or praise;
Leaning on his precious promise,
"I'll go with thee, all thy days."
To the lost ones who are dying,
Let us go in Jesus' name,
Bearing precious news of pardon,
In the message we proclaim. [Chorus]

3 I must go, for time is waning,
And the moments fly apace,
Just a few more days remaining,
In this gospel age of grace.
Calls are heard, and must be heeded,
From the fields in every clime,
Ere the judgment trumpet soundeth,
On the closing day of time. [Chorus]
