Author: Isaiah Baltzell Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12744 First Line: Good news comes o’er the sea Lyrics: 1 Good news comes o’er the sea, And tells of victory there; The heathen bow the knee, In humble, fervent prayer; Long waited we to hear The glorious tidings come, Proclaiming victory there, Where darkness reigned alone. Refrain: Rejoice, rejoice, Good news comes o’er the sea; Rejoice, rejoice, Good news comes o’er the sea; 2 The glorious Gospel light, In splendor shines today, Where naught but darkest night Fell on the heathen’s way. Brave Christians heard the cry That came across the sea, “Come, help us, ere we die, Come, help us to be free.” [Refrain] 3 They bade adieu to home, To friends and loved ones dear; They crossed the ocean’s foam, They landed safely there. They raised the banner bright On Afric’s hostile shore, The heathen saw a light, Where darkness reigned before. [Refrain] 4 Oh, see them coming home! The poor, degraded race! The Master bids them come To seek His saving grace. At Jesus’ feet they fall; To Heav’n they lift their cry; He hears their simple call— He saves them ere they die. [Refrain] 5 Awake! the sun is high; The Master’s calling you! Why stand ye idly by? There’s work for you to do! Your treasures, prayers and tears, Go, lay at Jesus’ feet; And soon we’ll sing the song Of victory complete. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Good news comes o’er the sea]
