Have You Heard the Sobbing

Bks. 1-4 #532 (1972) Meter: 13.8.13.8 with refrain Scripture: Matthew 4:19 First Line: Have you heard the sobbing of a thousand million souls Refrain First Line: A thousand million souls are dying Lyrics: 1 Have you heard the sobbing of a thousand million souls,
Submerged in darkest heathen night?
Vainly groping for the way that leads to hope and peace,
They plead and wait for Gospel light.
Chorus:
A thousand million souls are dying,
A thousand million souls for whom the Saviour died.
Can you still deny their plea?
Can you longer idle be,
While a thousand million souls are dying?
2 Have you heard the sobbing of a thousand million souls,
By superstitious chains enslaved?
Can you longer be in diff'rent to their sad estate?
Thro' Jesus they can all be saved. [Chorus]
3 Can you hear the sobbing of a thousand million souls,
Who seek relief of heart in vain?
Let them have the blessed Gospel that can freedom give,
And rend the chains of sin in twain. [Chorus] Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; Commission Call for Laborers Languages: English Tune Title: [Have you heard the sobbing of a thousand million souls]
