Will You Let Them Die?

In the dist­ant lands of dark­ness

Bowing down to wood and stone

Millions have not heard of Christ

Who reigns on high;

For the lost of ev­ery na­tion

He has suf­fered to atone

In their sin

oh! Christ­ians!

Will you let them die?

Will you let them die

Without hope of life?

Will you let them die

Lost in sin and strife?

While you share God’s grace and love

And cher­ish hopes of joy ab­ove

Will you let them die

Oh! will you let them die?

There’s no ray of light to cheer them

Not a vi­sion of the Lord

Or the glo­ries that await

Beyond the skies;

Ere they shall be­night­ed perish

Send the life sus­tain­ing Word

Without Christ

their Sav­ior

Will you let them die?

All around you souls are sink­ing

Heedless of the liv­ing way

Can you spurn them

Or the words of life de­ny?

Tell them of the lov­ing Sav­ior

Who would wel­come them to­day

In their guilt and weak­ness

Will you let them die?

With true gra­ti­tude to Je­sus

For His mer­cies and His grace

Ever seek His bless­èd name

To glo­ri­fy;

Spend not life in idle dream­ing

Strive to save the fall­en race

Speed sal­va­tion’s mes­sage—

Do not let them die!
