1 Carry the message with you,
That a lost world may know
Story of Jesus most precious,
Tell it wherever you go.

Refrain:
Tell it where’er you go,
Tell it where’er you go,
Publish the news of salvation,
Tell it wherever you go.

2 Tell of His birth so lowly,
Tell how He walked the sea,
Tell how He taught His disciples
Down by the blue Galilee. [Refrain]

3 Tell of the cruel mockings,
Tell of Gethsemane,
Tell how He died on Mount Calv’ry,
Died there for you and for me. [Refrain]

4 Tell where at last they laid Him,
There in the rock-hewn grave;
Tell how He came from triumphant,
Jesus, the Mighty to save! [Refrain]

5 Tell of His wondrous ascension,
Into the heav’n of blue,
Tell of His coming again soon,
coming for me and for you. [Refrain]
