Author: Rev. J. Demster Hammond Hymnal: Living Hymns #100 (1890) First Line: The whole wide world for Jesus Refrain First Line: The whole wide world, the whole wide world Lyrics: 1 The whole wide world for Jesus,
This shall our watchword be,
Upon the highest mountain,
Down by the widest sea,
The whole wide world for Jesus,
To him shall all men bow,
In city or in prairie,
The world for Jesus now.
Chorus:
The whole wide world, the whole wide world,
Proclaim the gospel tidings thro' the whole wide world,
Lift up the cross for Jesus, His banner be unfurled,
Till every tongue confess him, thro' the whole wide world.
2 The whole wide world for Jesus,
Inspires us with the thought
That ev'ry son of Adam
Hath by the blood been bought.
The whole wide world for Jesus,
O faint not by the way!
The cross shall surely conquer
In this our glorious day. [Chorus]
3 The whole wide world for Jesus,
The marching order sound,
Go ye and preach the gospel
Wherever man is found.
The whole wide world for Jesus,
Our banner is unfurled,
We battle now for Jesus,
And faith demands the world. [Chorus]
4 The whole wide world for Jesus,
In-the Father's home above
Are many wondrous mansions,
Mansions of light and love.
The whole wide world for Jesus,
Ride forth, O conquering king,
Thro' all the mighty nations,
The world to glory bring. [Chorus]
