[In the foreign heathen country]
Called To Foreign Fields
Author: John Bunyan Goins Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: In the foreign heathen country Refrain First Line: O, I’ll soon be with my loved ones Lyrics: 1 In the foreign heathen country,
Where the people know not God,
I am going there to preach His precious word,
Where they bow to worship idols,
I am going there to stay,
Where I’ll labor in the vineyard of the Lord.
Refrain:
O, I’ll soon be with my loved ones
In my happy, heavenly home;
Even now the thought my soul with rapture thrills;
So, goodbye, my friends and brethren,
For my time has come to go,
I must leave you on the dear, old battlefield.
2 I am called to bear a message
To the heathen far away,
And for years, o’er there a stranger, I may roam,
Just to tell them of a Savior,
One who died to save them all;
That’s the reason why I leave my native home. [Refrain]
3 Many days I’ll climb the hillsides,
In the sunshine and the rain,
Many days I’ll be in hunger and in thirst,
Just to tell them that our Lord is
Coming back to earth again,
With His gifts and blessings all as at the first. [Refrain]
4 I will stand the trial and hardships
Just to tell them precious truths,
That the Gospel of our Savior doth contain,
And if they will but obey them
And be faithful to the end,
Up in Heaven we will meet you all again. [Refrain]
5 We’ll not all be foreign laborers,
But the time will soon arrive,
When our mission we have faithfully fulfilled,
When our message is delivered
And ‘tis said of us, "Well done,"
Then in triumph we’ll depart the battlefield. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [In the foreign heathen country] Text Sources: Songs of Pentecostal Power, by Robert E. Winsett (Chattanooga, Tennessee: Winsett Music Company, 1908)

R. E. Winsett
1876 - 1952 Harmonizer of "[In the foreign heathen country, where the people know not God]" in Soul Inspiring Songs Robert Emmett Winsett (January 15, 1876 — June 26, 1952 (aged 76) was an American composer and publisher of Gospel music.
Winsett was born in Bledsoe County, Tennessee, and graduated from the Bowman Normal School of Music in 1899.
He founded his own publishing company in 1903, and his first publication, Winsett's Favorite Songs, quickly became popular among the Baptist and Pentecostal churches of the American South. Pentecostal Power followed in 1907; that year Winsett completed postgraduate work at a conservatory.
He married Birdie Harris in 1908, and had three sons and two daughters with her. He settled in Fort Smith, Arkansas, continuing to compose gospel songs, of which he would write over 1,000 in total. He became a minister in 1923, and was affiliated with the Church of God (Seventh Day).
Birdie Harris died late in the 1920s, and shortly thereafter Winsett moved back to Tennessee. He founded a new company in Chattanooga, and published more shape note music books. He remarried, to Mary Ruth Edmonton, in 1930, and had three further children.
Winsett's final publication, Best of All (1951), sold over 1 million copies, and in total his books sold over ten million copies. His song "Jesus Is Coming Soon" won a Dove Award for Gospel Song of the Year at the 1969 awards. He has been inducted into the Southern Gospel Museum and Hall of Fame.
