GHS 106 : Tell The Whole Wide World Lyrics
GHS 106, “Tell The Whole Wide World,” is a missionary hymn with a scope as wide as its title. The call is not to tell a neighbourhood or a congregation but to carry the news of Jesus from shore to shore, over mountain and wave, into every land of darkness, until the light of the gospel has pierced every shadow on earth. The hymn also includes a practical note in its final stanza: while praying for other nations, do not forget the home fields. The world mission and the local mission must go together.
This hymn appears as number 106 in the Gospel Hymns and Songs (GHS) collection, used in Deeper Life Bible Church and related assemblies across West Africa, and it is most naturally sung during missionary meetings, evangelism campaigns, and services focused on the Great Commission.
Hymn Lyrics – GHS 106: Tell The Whole Wide World
- Tell the whole wide world of Jesus, Bear the news from shore to shore; Telling sinners of the Saviour, Let the light spread more and more.
Tell the world, the whole wide world; Bear the news from shore to shore; Tell the whole wide world of Jesus, Praise His name for ever more!
-
Send abroad the gospel heralds, Let them take the blessed light Into every land of darkness, Piercing through the shades of night.
-
Yes, we’ll send the joyful message Over mountain, over wave, Telling everywhere of Jesus, And His mighty power to save.
-
While we pray for other nations, Send them help with willing hand, Let us not forget the home fields — Jesus for our native land!
