Come Over and Help Us

A voice comes o’er the wa­ters

A voice both loud and clear

Come ov­er here and help us

We’re bound in slav­ish fear!

Our chains do now con­fine us

In dark­ness and in doubt

No light to shine up­on us

No hand to bring us out.

Come ov­er and help us!

Come ov­er and help us!

Come ov­er and help us!

Come ov­er and help us to­day.

Our id­ols can­not help us;

We on­ly deep­er fall;

And dim­mer grows our vi­sion

When on their names we call

We look and wait and won­der

If some­one o’er the sea

Will hast­en to re­lieve us

Will come and set us free.

We hear that o’er the wa­ters

A glo­ri­ous light doth shine

A light sent down from Heav­en

Oh

send that light di­vine!

We hear that one called Je­sus

Can save us from our sin;

We want to hear His foot­steps

We want to let Him in.
