A glad message rings
through the world today,
It echoes through the countries afar,
That the rising Sun, with celestial ray,
Scatters healing where’er men are.
The good work must go on and on,
Till the world for the Lord is won,
Greater triumphs must be gained,
Greater heights in love attained,
Till the glorious day of God shall dawn.
There are many souls
that were dark as night,
All shadowed by the blackness of sin,
That are glowing now
with immortal light,
Since the glory of God shone in.
The good work must go on and on,
Till the world for the Lord is won,
Greater triumphs must be gained,
Greater heights in love attained,
Till the glorious day of God shall dawn.
There are hungry hearts
that were starved for bread,
But Jesus has supplied every need;
For on Him, the Bread of Life,
they have fed
Till their spirits are glad indeed.
The good work must go on and on,
Till the world for the Lord is won,
Greater triumphs must be gained,
Greater heights in love attained,
Till the glorious day of God shall dawn.
And the deaf shall hear,
and the blind eyes see;
The Word of God
shall quicken and glow;
Christ the King of earth
and Heaven still shall be
Till His glory each heart shall know.
The good work must go on and on,
Till the world for the Lord is won,
Greater triumphs must be gained,
Greater heights in love attained,
Till the glorious day of God shall dawn.
