THE EVANGELIZATION OF THE WORLD.
By W. T. Float
“I want—I want the Christians to go all over the world spreading the glad news.”—Reginald Radcliffe’s last message. I WANT—I want the Christians
O’er all the world to go,
To spread the wond’rous tidings
To all that dwell below.
I want each Gentile people,
And those from Jewish stem,
To know there is a Gospel,
And that it is for them. Dark Africa for ages
Has been without the light;
Its tribes have worshiped stocks and stones
With every heathen rite;
Its witchcrafts and its wickedness
Have sunk them low in sin;
I want the Christian witnesses
To let the light stream in. The long “Neglected Continent,”
So populous and vast,
Has groaned beneath Rome’s tyranny
For generations past.
Peru, Brazil, and Ecuador
Are dark as dark can be.
O men and women, saved by grace,
Go forth and set them free!
