Thy peo­ple who know of Thy love,

Haunt us from the fur­ther sod;

Come and help us, or we die.
Set up Thy throne where Sa­tan reigns,
Over the seas;
Over the seas;
At our ve­ry door.
Afric’s strick­en daugh­ters weep,
To their id­ols bend­ing low;
That the Lord is King;
Down to id­ols made by hands;
The mes­sage, the mes­sage of grace from ab­ove.
The mes­sage, the mes­sage of grace from ab­ove.
All the pre­cious truths of God,
In hum­ble, fer­vent pray­er;
You may find the hea­then near­er,
