This wide, wide world for Jesus
With all its sins and woes
It's anguish and diseases
It's sorrows and its throes
Though cursed and torn and blighted
And sunken down in gloom
God makes it, though benighted
The kingdom of His Son
Christ is our king and ruler
Our hearts shall be His throne
The Gospel's great Revealer
Shall make us all His own
We'll sing His great salvation
His triumph o'er His foes
Till desert, land, and nation
Shall blossom as the rose
Christ is our king and ruler
Our hearts shall be His throne
