Facing a Task Unfinished

Facing a task unfinished,
That drives us to our knees.
c need that, undiminished,
Rebukes our slothful ease.
We, who rejoice to know Thee,
Renew before Thy throne
The solemn pledge we owe Thee
To go and make Thee known.

Where other lords beside Thee
Hold their unhindered sway;
Where forces that defied Thee,
Defy Thee still today.
With none to heed their crying
For life, and love, and light,
Unnumbered souls are dying
cnd pass into the night.

We go to all the world,
With kingdom hope unfurled.
No other name has power to save
But Jesus Christ the Lord.

We bear the torch that, flaming,
Fell from the hands of those
Who gave their lives proclaiming
That Jesus died and rose.
Ours is the same commission,
The same glad message ours;
Fired by the same ambition,
To Thee we yield our powers.

We go to all the world,
With kingdom hope unfurled.
No other name has power to save
But Jesus Christ the Lord.

O Father who sustained them,
O Spirit who inspired,
Savior, whose love constrained them
To toil with zeal untired.
From cowardice defend us,
From lethargy awake!
Forth on Thine errands send us
To labour for Thy sake.

We go to all the world,
With kingdom hope unfurled.
No other name has power to save
But Jesus Christ the Lord.

We go to all the world,
His kingdom hope unfurled.
No other name has power to save
But Jesus Christ the Lord.
