Dusky hands are reaching
for the bread of life
Far across the rolling sea;
Shall they perish
in their misery and strife,
Shall they always hungry be?
Send the Gospel tidings
over land and sea,
Let the hungry souls be satisfied,
Till the pow’r of Jesus
sets the captives free,
O lead them to the Master’s side.
Dusky hands are bound
in chains of want and woe
In the far off heathen lands;
Shall we not in haste
unto their borders go,
Set them free, as God commands?
Send the Gospel tidings
over land and sea,
Let the hungry souls be satisfied,
Till the pow’r of Jesus
sets the captives free,
O lead them to the Master’s side.
We cannot be idle any longer now,
While the souls in darkness die;
Gather them as jewels
for the Savior’s brow,
While the days are passing by.
Send the Gospel tidings
over land and sea,
Let the hungry souls be satisfied,
Till the pow’r of Jesus
sets the captives free,
O lead them to the Master’s side.
Dusky faces look to us
for hope and peace,
Shall they look to us in vain?
Jesus can redeem them,
cause their sighs to cease,
Rend their chains of sin in twain.
Send the Gospel tidings
over land and sea,
Let the hungry souls be satisfied,
Till the pow’r of Jesus
sets the captives free,
O lead them to the Master’s side.
