Over the Seas

Verse 1

From the heathen far away— Over the seas; List! a voice we must obey, Over the seas; Go to all the world and preach, Over the seas; In the name of Jesus teach, Over the seas.

Chorus

Pity the heathen without the gospel light, Pity the heathen in error’s night.

Verse 2

Thousands there in midnight gloom Over the seas; Bowing down to wood and stone, Over the seas; Send your money with your pray’r, Over the seas; Earnest men are lab’ring there, Over the seas.

Verse 3

You can save a soul from sin, Over the seas; Souls immortal garner in, Over the seas; See them to their idols pray, Over the seas; Knowing not a better way, Over the seas.

Verse 4

Hear the Great Divine command, Over the seas; Go and lend a helping hand, Over the seas; When the sheaves are gathered in From o’er the seas; Shall we bear a sheaf for Him, From o’er the seas?
