Souls in heathen darkness lying

Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 65 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Souls in heathen darkness lying, Where no light has broken through, Souls that Jesus bought by dying, Whom His soul in travail knew: Thousand voices Call us, o'er the waters blue. 2 Christians, hearken! None has taught them Of His love so deep and dear; Of the precious price that bought them; Of the nail, the thorn, the spear; Ye who know Him, Guide them from their darkness drear. 3 Haste, Oh haste, and spread the tidings, Wide to earth's remotest strand; Let no brother's bitter chidings Rise against us, when we stand In the Judgment, From some far, forgotten land. 4 Lo! the hills for harvest whiten, All along each distant shore; Seaward far the islands brighten; Light of nations! lead us o'er; When we seek them, Let Thy Spirit go before. Amen. Used With Tune: [Souls in heathen darkness lying]

And with Thy presence all things bless. 6 So praise to Thy great Name shall rise Up from these walls, this sacred floor, Who made, Who saves, Who sanctifies, Forever and for evermore.
