From California's Vineyards

Author: Martin M. Knapp Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10040 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6 D First Line: From California’s vineyards Refrain First Line: We’ll heed the Savior’s summons Lyrics: 1 From California’s vineyards To Carolina’s strand, We hear the wail of anguish That rises in our land, From Maine to Mississippi, We see the blight of sin, And hear the groans of sorrow Above our city’s din. Refrain: We’ll heed the Savior’s summons, On wings of love we fly, To bear the Gospel message Ere at our door they die. 2 From Asia’s dark dominions, And Afric’s burning sand, Like mighty streams of water They pour into our land. From Europe’s crowded cities, They flow from year to year, And bring their crimes and vices And superstitions here. [Refrain] 3 From many a haunt of evil, From many a home of shame, We must their souls deliver From sin in Jesus’ name. In many a street and alley, They wander to and fro, And swiftly down are sinking, To realms of endless woe. [Refrain] 4 Glad tidings of salvation We thus shall speed along, Till every place of sorrow Becomes a place of song; Till slaves of vice and folly At Jesus’ feet shall fall, And claim His great salvation, And crown Him Lord of all. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: SANTIAGO
