1 There are souls, perishing souls, over the sea,
Perishing souls in our own native land;
Bearing the message of love everlasting and free,
Let us reach them a kind, helping hand.

Refrain:
Perishing souls, over the sea;
Jubilant songs floating over the waves,
Carry the joy, wonderful joy,
Carry the news, glorious news,
Jesus saves.

2 Blessed work, beautiful work, children of light,
Gratefully tell of the Master we love,
Witnessing daily of him who hath scattered our night,
And prepares us for mansions above. [Refrain]

3 Lift the cross, Calvary’s cross! near and afar,
Numberless hearts shall acknowledge its power;
Hasten the day when the nations shall follow his star,
Hail the dawn of the bright, golden hour. [Refrain]
