1. There are Christian workers going
To lands both far and near;
They're giving out the gospel
For everyone to hear;
They're working for the saviour
For the time is drawing near;
So you ought to be,
Oh you ought to be,
A missionary here.

Chorus: You ought to be a missionary
Serving in your land;
You claim that you know Jesus,
So lend a helping hand;
Christ said that He would use you
If you His cross will bear;
So you ought to be,
Oh you ought to be,
A missionary here.

2. Your home is your Jerusalem
There's souls on every street;
You ought to spread the gospel
Until the Lord you meet;
Since God's your heavenly father
His business you should do;
You ought to be,
Oh you ought to be,
A missionary too.
