Author: F. E. Belden Hymnal: Christ in Song #673 (1908) Topics: Living His Life Call to Activity First Line: Answer the call, ye brave men Refrain First Line: Who'll go? who'll go whate'er the cost? Lyrics: 1 Answer the call, ye brave men,
The Master's call to save men;
Each moment death is gaining,
Their blood our garments staining:
Chorus:
Who'll go? who'll go, whate'er the cost?
Who'll go? who'll go to save the lost?
2 Lighting the world with glory,
Once more the gospel story
In purity and pow'r
Proclaims the judgment hour: [Chorus]
3 Nations afar are waking,
Their idol shrines forsaking;
God's truth puts on its splendor,
Immanuel its defender: [Chorus]
4 Bearing the name of Jesus,
Whose great salvation frees us,
With joy the good news carry,
Nor dare to longer tarry: [Chorus]
5 Where icy winds are crying,
Where India's poor are dying,
Where Southern seas are sleeping,
Where Western isles are weeping.
Chorus: I go, I go, whate'er the cost;
I go, I go to save the lost.
