Refrain
To the ends of the earth! Take his Name far and wide!
We are sent by the Lord, by the King Crucified,
to the ends of the earth! Raise the Cross! Praise the Christ!
Sing the pow’r of the Word: Christ is love! Christ is life!
1. So many souls are dying—can you see them
in dark and distant corners of the world?
They bend their knees to gods that cannot hear them
because they don’t know Jesus or his Word.
2. And do you hear the doubting of the cynics
who think our Lord was just another man?
Tell them he’s God; his way is one of wisdom;
there’s wonder, beauty, purpose in his plan.
3. And do you know a neighbor who has drifted,
departed from the church in grief or pain?
Through Jesus’ love their burden can be lifted.
Let’s listen well and welcome them again.
4. Our gracious Lord wants nobody to perish.
For ev’ry child of earth his hands are scarred.
Each soul is his to know and name and cherish.
There’s room for ev’ry sinner in his heart.
