Dying for the Knowledge of Jesus

Brother

hear the cry from the dark do­main

Where they have no know­ledge of the Sav­ior’s name;

See the dark­en­ing night

hear the plaint­ive cry

Send us now the Gos­pel

or our souls must die.

Brother

they are cry­ing

cry­ing un­to you

Save us from eter­nal shame;

Trembling on the brink of the world of woe

Dying for the know­ledge of the Sav­ior’s name.

Dying all un­con­scious of the dead­ly ill;

Frenzied by the fev­er of the fa­tal chill;

Blinded by de­cep­tion of the world’s dread foe;

Standing on the mar­gin of eter­nal woe.

Sadly they are cry­ing

tho’ no voice we hear;

Sinking to per­di­tion

yet they feel no fear;

Silently they’re plead­ing by their sin and shame

Crying for the know­ledge of the Sav­ior’s name.

Christian

you have feast­ed on the Sav­ior’s love

Tasted of the plea­sures of the world above;

Will you with in­dif­fer­ence hear your bro­ther’s cry

Send us now the Gos­pel

or our souls must die?
