Far Beyond the Dark Blue Sea

Far beyond the dark blue sea

Many lit­tle child­ren dwell

In a land of mi­se­ry

Where no gen­tle voic­es tell

Those glad tid­ings which im­part

Joy and com­fort to the heart.

But they bend

from day to day

To their gods

of wood and stone

For the Gos­pel’s cheer­ing ray

Has not made the Sav­ior known;

Few the beams of heav’n­ly light

Shining in their dread­ful night.

Children dear

if you have found

Pardon through the Sav­ior’s blood

Seek to spread the joy­ful sound

Seek to bring their souls to God;

Share those bless­ings rich and true

Which He kind­ly gives to you.
