Facing a Task Unfinished

Ed Cash and Fionán de Barra [Key: A] Verse 1 Facing a task unfinished That drives us to our knees A need that, undiminished Rebukes our slothful ease We, who rejoice to know Thee Renew before Thy throne The solemn pledge we owe Thee To go and make Thee known Verse 2 Where other lords beside Thee Hold their unhindered sway Where forces that defied Thee Defy Thee still today With none to heed their crying For life, and love, and light Unnumbered souls are dying And pass into the night Chorus We go to all the world With kingdom hope unfurled No other name has power to save But Jesus Christ The Lord. Verse 3 We bear the torch that flaming Fell from the hands of those Who gave their lives proclaiming That Jesus died and rose Ours is the same commission The same glad message ours Fired by the same ambition To Thee we yield our powers Chorus We go to all the world With kingdom hope unfurled No other name has power to save But Jesus Christ The Lord. Verse 4 O Father who sustained them O Spirit who inspired Savior, whose love constrained them To toil with zeal untired From cowardice defend us From lethargy awake! Forth on Thine errands send us To labour for Thy sake Chorus We go to all the world With kingdom hope unfurled No other name has power to save But Jesus Christ The Lord. We go to all the world With kingdom hope unfurled No other name has power to save But Jesus Christ The Lord
