This Wide World for Jesus Lyrics

This wide, wide world for Jesus
With all its sins and woes
Its anguish and diseases
Its sorrows and its throes

Though cursed and torn and blighted
And sunken down in gloom
God makes it, though benighted
The kingdom of His Son

Christ is our king and ruler
Our hearts shall be His throne
The Gospel's great Revealer
Shall make us all His own

We'll sing His great salvation
His triumph o'er His foes
Till desert, land, and nation
Shall blossom as the rose

Christ is our king and ruler
Our hearts shall be His throne
