4. Over the World

1 Tell the love of Christ abroad,
Over the world!
Tell them of a risen Lord,
Over the world!
Jesus died that we might live,
He his life did freely give,
Every soul he died to save,
Over the world!

Refrain:
Over the world!
Over the world!
Ever salvation’s story tell,
Over the world!
Send abroad the gospel light,
Scatter sin and sorrow’s night,
Tell of heaven’s morning bright,
Over the world!

2 Tell how Jesus saves today,
Over the world!
Now his wondrous love display,
Over the world!
‘Tis the consecrated ones,
Who rejoice to God’s sons,
Serve him and his goodness own,
Over the world! [Refrain]

3 Tell that Christ our Lord shall reign,
Over the world!
He will come from heav’n again,
Over the world!
From the Father’s home on high,
He will come, yes, by and by,
And will reign eternally,
Over the world! [Refrain]
