The Sobbing of a Thousand Million

Verse 1

Have you heard the sobbing of a thousand million souls, Submerged in darkest heathen night? Vainly groping for the way that leads to hope and peace, They plead and wait for Gospel light.

Chorus

A thousand million souls are dying, A thousand million souls for whom the Saviour died. Can you still deny their plea? Can you longer idle be, While a thousand million souls are dying?

Verse 2

Have you heard the sobbing of a thousand million souls, By superstitious chains enslaved? Can you longer be in diff'rent to their sad estate? Thro' Jesus they can all be saved.

Verse 3

Can you hear the sobbing of a thousand million souls, Who seek relief of heart in vain? Let them have the blessed Gospel that can freedom give, And rend the chains of sin in twain.
