Christian Brother, o’er the Main

Christian brother o’er the main

Carry the news of Je­sus;

Go where night and dark­ness reign

Lovingly haste away.

Carry the news o’er wa­ters blue

Perishing souls are wait­ing for you;

Stretching their hands

they plead for light

Blessèd Gos­pel light.

Onward quick­ly

hear their cry

Over the deep re­sound­ing;

Save the mill­ions ere they die

Earnestly haste away.

Tell of Ju­dah’s Morn­ing Star

Peacefully

calm­ly shin­ing;

Spread its beams o’er climes afar

Pray’rfully haste away.

Christian breth­ren

preach the Word

Publish a free sal­va­tion;

Lo

in Heav’n your bright re­ward;

Joyfully haste away.
