AFRICA'S CRY.

From the land of Africa
Comes a faint cry:
“Send us the Gospel—
To save ere we die.”
Dying unconscious
Of a heavenly home
We know not the Saviour.
What will be our doom?
Send us a teacher
Who will show us the way.
We know not the law—
How can we obey?
Come to us quickly,
We have thrown wide the gate;
Millions of souls
Do anxiously wait.
