1 Is it nothing to you that a sin-sick world
Is lying in darkness and night,
And with never a bright cheering beam to shine
With glorious gospel light?
Is it nothing to you that the millions there
Go down to a Christless grave,
And with not a word of the loving Lord,
Who suffered, their souls to save?

Refrain:
Is it nothing to you?
Is it nothing to you?
That the harvest is great and the reapers are few?
O hasten to tell thro’ the world so wide
The love of the crucified.

2 Is it nothing to you that the starving souls
Are pleading for life-giving bread,
And are you, with abundance beyond your need,
Still letting them go unfed?
Is it nothing to you that they wait athirst
For water of life so free,
And you quench your thirst in the cooling stream,
While they die in misery? [Refrain]

3 Is it nothing to you that they groan and wail,
In anguish and sorrow and pain?
Shall the Saviour who died on the cruel cross
Have given his life in vain?
Is it nothing to you that the last command
Of him whose dear name you bear
Was to preach the gospel to all the lands,
Proclaiming it ev’rywhere? [Refrain]
