1 Bearing the Savior’s story
O’er many leagues of flood,
’Neath Afric’s sky of glory,
In midnight prayer I stood,
While other constellations
The Southern Cross outshone,
And said, "Go teach all nations
The cross, that wins the crown."
2 "Take, Lord! oh, my defender!"
The grateful herald prayed,
"My uttermost surrender
Of heart and hand and head!"
"The cross of suffering, wear it,"
Came whispered o’er the sea:
"Fear not, for thou canst bear it:
Christ bore it once for thee."
