Author: M. J. Willcox Hymnal: CH1962 #150 (1962) Lyrics: 1 Once again, dear Lord, we pray
For the children far away,
Children who have never heard
Jesus' name, sweetest word.
2 Little lips that Thou hast made,
'Neath the far-off temple's shade
Give to gods of wood and stone
{raise that should be all Thine own.
3 Little hands, whose wondrous skill
Thou hast given to do Thy will,
Offerings bring, and serve with fear
Gods that cannot see or hear.
4 Teach them, O Thou heavenly King,
All their gifts and praise to bring
To Thy Son, who died to prove
Thy forgiving, saving love. Topics: Missions Languages: English Tune Title: FERRIER
