1  Far, far away, in heathen darkness dwelling,

       Millions of souls forever may be lost;

    Who, who will go, salvation's story telling,

       Looking to Jesus, counting not the cost?

 2  See o'er the world, wide open doors inviting:

       Soldiers of Christ, arise and enter in!

    Christians, awake! Your forces all uniting,

       Send forth the Gospel, break the chains of sin.

 3  "Why will ye die?" the voice of God is calling,

       "Why will ye die?" re-echo in His name:

    Jesus hath died to save from death appalling,

       Life and salvation therefore go proclaim.
