God Speed the Right

Representative Text

1 Far o'er the sea are heathen lands;
No Saviour there they know;
The truth is hidden from their sight,
How long must this be so.

Chorus:
God speed the right,
O send them light,
Till all who live beyond the sea,
Shall unto Jesus bow the knee.

2 Their gods are made of wood and stone;
These cannot hear them pray;
These cannot comfort in distress,
Nor take their sins away. [Chorus]

3 Our hands must work, our hearts must pray,
And thus the gospel send,
To teach them of the way to Heav'n,
Of Christ the sinner's friend. [Chorus]
