1 This wonderful story of infinite love,
Tell it wherever you go;
’Twill brighten the darkness with light from above,
Tell it wherever you go.

Refrain:
Wherever you go, wherever you go,
Carry the message with love all aglow!
Some way of serving the Master will show,
Tell it wherever you go.

2 The song of redemption, so graciously sweet,
Sing it wherever you go;
The joy of salvation your lips shall repeat,
Sing it wherever you go. [Refrain]

3 The work that your Master assigns to your hands,
Do it wherever you go;
You’ll find grace sufficient; obey his commands,
Do it wherever you go. [Refrain]

4 The life that the indwelling Spirit imparts,
Live it wherever you go;
Bear comfort and gladness to desolate hearts,
Live it wherever you go. [Refrain]
