Author: Fanny Church Hymnal: The Little Sower for Sabbath Schools #127 (1870) First Line: Far o'er the sea are heathen lands Refrain First Line: God speed the right Lyrics: 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] Tune Title: [Far o'er the sea are heathen lands]
