A Plaintive Plea
Author: Clara McAlister Brooks Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10911 First Line: A plaintive plea comes o’er the sea Refrain First Line: A plaintive plea comes o’er the sea Lyrics: 1 A plaintive plea comes o’er the sea
From nations in distress;
From darkest night they ask for light,
Their ruined land to bless.
Refrain:
A plaintive plea comes o’er the sea;
How long, O Lord, still must they wait?
Oh, hasten there with faith and prayer,
Or soon ’twill be too late.
2 The ripened grain on India’s plain,
Still waits for reapers true;
Hour swiftly fly while daily die
The millions in their woe. [Refrain]
3 The strong command to every land—
Go, spread the Gospel news!
Then haste away, till truth shall sway
Its scepter o’er the seas. [Refrain]
4 A plaintive plea, oh, can it be
Their souls are doomed and lost?
Go save them now till all shall bow
Before the Savior’s cross. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [A plaintive pleas comes o'er the sea]
