Author: Fanny J. Crosby Hymnal: Gloria Deo #544 (1901) Refrain First Line: Hear the cry, O send the light Lyrics: 1 Far away beyond the deep,
On the winds that never sleep,
Precious souls in heathen lands
Reach to us their pleading hands.
Refrain:
Hear the cry, O send the light,
You whose homes are ward and bright;
Send the light our hearts to cheer,
Leave us not to perish here.
2 O’er the wild and heaving main
Shall their cry be heard again;
Let our hearts with pity glow,
And our tears in sorrow flow. [Refrain]
3 Haste the word of truth to bear
On the wings of faith and prayer;
Haste the bread of life to break
For the dear Redeemer’s sake. [Refrain] Topics: Missions Languages: English Tune Title: OXFORD
