1. A place there is for each to fill
In the great world task;
Demanding heart and hand and will
In the great world task.

Refrain
Go ye! Go ye!
Go ye, saith the Master:
Into all the world to every creature
Preach My Gospel.
Go ye! Go ye!
Go ye, saith the Master:
Into all the world
Let My banner be unfurled.

2. Prepare, prepare your best to do
In the great world task;
Be talents many, great or few,
For the great world task. [Refrain]

3. Rejoice, rejoice, to have a part
In the great world task;
Lift high the cross where’er thou art,
In the great world task. [Refrain]
