Bernard Fell emphasizes the importance of spreading the gospel beyond
the confines of the church, urging believers to go out into the world
and share the message of salvation. He questions whether a self-centered
focus led to the decline of a church, highlighting the need for soul-

Go ye into all the world

and preach the gospel.

Mark 16:15

There was a quaint old graveyard

Amid surroundings fair;

According to the tombstones,

The former church was there!

The names embossed in granite

Were worn by wind and rain;

The saints shall rise in triumph

When Christ returns again.

Was that late church self-centred,

And lacked soul-winning breath,

That caused complete extinction,

A sad, untimely death?

If true in gospel outreach,

And souls were born again,

Where are the saints remaining

To witness in their train?

'Tis sweet to feast on good things,

God's precious Word explore,

But, look! the unconverted

Are dying at the door.

We have a glorious message,

Commissioned by the Lord;

Then go beyond the circle

And spread the news abroad!

Our sun may set in witness

By death's cold hand below;

If we in life are faithful,

There must be afterglow.
