For the Whole Wide World

Composer: Lelia Morris, 1912

Of one blood God hath made

All the na­tions of the earth

Over all His ban­ner wide un­furled;

And He bids us to go

And His sav­ing grace pro­claim

To the whole wide world.

For the whole wide world

For the whole wide world;

Jesus dy­ing brought a full sal­va­tion

For the whole wide world.

To the lanes and the high­ways

And by­ways we must go

Till the pow’rs of sin are back­ward hurled;

And the streams of His grace

Shall for cleans­ing on­ward flow

To the whole wide world.

We must car­ry the Gos­pel

To earth’s re­mot­est bound

Men are dy­ing for the pre­cious Word;

Until ev­ery na­tion

Has heard the joy­ful sound

In the whole wide world.
