The Message Bearers

In lands far away o’er the sea

There are na­tions who nev­er have heard

Any men­tion

dear Sav­ior

of Thee

And we long so to send them the word.

Blessèd Word

bless­èd Word

Thou’rt life to the soul that has heard;

Blessèd Word

bless­èd Word

Blessèd Word

Thou’rt life to the soul that has heard.

They bow to their id­ols of stone

To their idols of sil­ver and gold;

But to wor­ship the Sav­ior alone

They nev­er

alas! have been told.

In sor­row they pass to the grave

Thro’ the val­ley of sin and of woe;

Yet our Je­sus is wait­ing to save

If on­ly to Him they will go.

His serv­ants are hast­en­ing to bear

Precious tid­ings of life o’er the sea;

We will join them in la­bor and pray­er

Happy work­ers for Je­sus are we.
