1. Far, far away, in death and darkness dwelling, Millions of souls forever may be lost; Who, who will go, salvation's story telling, Looking to Jesus, heeding not the cost? 2. See o'er the world wide open doors inviting, Soldiers of Christ, arise and enter in! Christians, awake! your forces all uniting, Send forth the Gospel, break the chains of sin. 3. "Why will you die?" the voice of God is calling. "Why will you die?" re-echo in His Name; Jesus has died to save from death appalling, Life and salvation, therefore go proclaim. 4. God speed the day, when those of every nation "Glory to God!" triumphantly shall sing. Ransomed, redeemed, rejoicing in salvation, Shout "Hallelujah, for the Lord is King." Chorus: "All power is given unto Me, All power is given unto Me, Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel, And lo, I am with you always."

Words and Music by James McGranahan, 1840–1907
After the death of Philip Bliss in 1876, James McGranahan became the songleader in the evangelistic campaigns conducted by Major D. W. Whittle in England and throughout America. Known for his fine tenor voice and a commanding personality, he pioneered in using male choirs in his services. McGranahan collaborated with Ira Sankey and other gospel musicians in many publications. “Go Ye Into All the World” was widely used as a missionary challenge in their great crusade meetings.
