Tell The Whole Wide
Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A 19th-century gospel mission hymn calling Christians to carry the message of Jesus to every nation and out of spiritual darkness. It is characteristic of the late-Victorian revival and foreign-missions movement popularized through collections like Sankey's Gospel Hymns.
Verse 1
1. Tell the whole wide world of Jesus,
Bear the news from shore to shore;
Telling sinners of the Savior,
Let the light spread more and more.
Chorus
Tell the world, the whole wide world,
Bear the news from shore to shore;
Tell the whole wide world of Jesus,
Praise His name forevermore!
Verse 2
Send abroad the Gospel heralds,
Let them take the blessèd light;
Into every land of darkness,
Piercing through the shades of night.
Chorus
Tell the world, the whole wide world,
Bear the news from shore to shore;
Tell the whole wide world of Jesus,
Praise His name forevermore!
Verse 3
Yes, we’ll send the joyful message,
Over mountain, over wave;
Telling everywhere of Jesus,
And His mighty power to save.
Chorus
Tell the world, the whole wide world,
Bear the news from shore to shore;
Tell the whole wide world of Jesus,
Praise His name forevermore!
Verse 4
While we pray for other nations,
Send them help with willing hand,
Let us not forget the home fields,
Jesus for our native land!
Chorus
Tell the world, the whole wide world,
Bear the news from shore to shore;
Tell the whole wide world of Jesus,
Praise His name forevermore!
