Representative Text

1 Hear the tramp of the millions of the earth,
Coming in their blindness, wretchedness and dearth;
God has called, nations wake in glorious birth;
All the world is coming to the Savior.

Refrain:
Coming to the Savior! Coming to the Savior!
All the world rejoices o’er its king;
For its help has come at last,
And its pain and loss are past!
All the world is coming to the Savior.

2 Long in vain for a Savior have they sought,
Sacrifice and altar never peace have brought;
Now they see what the heart of God hath wrought;
All the world is coming to the Savior. [Refrain]

3 Not a land now is wanting in a throng;
Eagerly they hasten, filling earth with song;
Grand the chorus, a billion voices strong;
All the world is coming to the Savior. [Refrain]
