Over the Seas

From the hea­then far away—

Over the seas;

List! a voice we must ob­ey

Over the seas;

Go to all the world and preach

Over the seas;

In the name of Je­sus teach

Over the seas.

Pity the hea­then with­out the Gos­pel light;

Pity the hea­then in er­ror’s night.

Thousands there in mid­night gloom

Over the seas;

Bowing down to wood and stone

Over the seas;

Send your mo­ney with your pray­er

Over the seas;

Earnest men are la­bor­ing there

Over the seas.

You can save a soul from sin

Over the seas;

Souls im­mor­tal gar­ner in

Over the seas;

See them to their id­ols pray

Over the seas;

Knowing not a bet­ter way

Over the seas.

Hear the Great Di­vine com­mand

Over the seas;

Go and lend a help­ing hand

Over the seas;

When the sheaves are ga­thered in

From o’er the seas;

Shall we bear a sheaf for Him

From o’er the seas?
