HELP THE HEATHEN.
There is a land of grief and woe,
A land far across the ocean wave,
Where heathen nations know not God,
Nor seek to find the blessed way.
A land far across the ocean wave,
Where heathen nations know not God,
Nor seek to find the blessed way.
This is the way the nations have gone,
Since in darkness they were born;
The way of God they have not known,
They bow to idols of wood and stone.

“Lord here am I, send me!
I'll take the gospel and carry it there,
That they may know salvation's free.”
If you cannot go, you can give your means,
To help to send the gospel there;
That the heathen may know the name of God,
And for judgment day make some prepare.
To help to send the gospel there;
That the heathen may know the name of God,
And for judgment day make some prepare.
If you cannot give the rich man's sum,
You can give a penny or a shilling;
If you cannot pay the preacher's full fare,
You can show to the Lord that you're willing.
