Tune:[For Christ, the Lord, our watchword shall be]
Composer:W. M. McKnight

57. The Whole Wide World for Jesus

1 For Christ, the Lord, our watchword shall be,
The whole wide world, the whole wide world,
We’ll send the news far over land and sea,
The whole wide world for Jesus.

Refrain:
The whole wide world, the whole wide world,
The whole wide world for Jesus,
We’ll send the news far over land and sea,
The whole wide world for Jesus.

2 A full salvation Jesus died to bring,
The whole wide world, the whole wide world,
And teach the world His love and praise to sing,
The whole wide world for Jesus. [Refrain]

3 How blessed, then, the message to give,
The whole wide world, the whole wide world,
And bid the heathen lands to “look and live,”
The whole wide world for Jesus. [Refrain]
