Thy Brother Calls to Thee

Awake

O Christ­ian

from thy sleep

And heed thy bro­ther’s call!

He cries to thee across the deep

Where dark­est sha­dows falls.

From sin and guilt and wretch­ed­ness

He knows not where to flee;

Go tell him how the Lord can bless!

Thy bro­ther calls to thee.

’Mid deep­est gloom and dark­est night

He lifts his help­less hands;

Can aught but Je­sus give him light

Or break his cr­uel bands?

Then send

O send the Mas­ter’s Word

Across the wide blue sea

Where Ma­ce­don­ia’s cry is heard!

Thy bro­ther calls to thee.

O save the lost

the sin­ner turn!

To blind men send the light!

O let thy soul with ar­dor burn

To lead them to the right;

Then ush­er in that glo­ri­ous day

The king­dom yet to be

When all shall own the Mas­ter’s sway!

Thy bro­ther calls to thee.
