Save, Oh, Save!

lyricist: Clara Brooks, 1913
Composer: Daniel Teasley

Over the bil­lows sigh­ing

Millions in sin are dy­ing

Dying in sad des­pair.

Point them to Cal­va­ry’s mount­ain

To the Re­deem­er there.

Out from the dark­ness

There comes the sad cry:

Save us

oh

save us

We per­ish and die.

Glory our way o’er­spread­ing

Bright is the path we’re tread­ing

Under a cloud­less sky;

While in their sun­less pri­son

Helpless the hea­then die.

Hopelessly blind and weep­ing

Sowing in sin and reap­ing

Reaping its sure re­ward.

Tell them of Je­sus’ dy­ing

How it doth life af­ford.

Still is the Sav­ior plead­ing

Go with the torch of free­dom

Go with His love aflame!

Love will be­guile the wan­der­er

Home from his guilt and shame.
