Hear the Wail

Author: J. Wakefield MacGill, 1829-1902 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2244 First Line: Hear the wail across the sea Refrain First Line: Wailing, wailing o’er the sea Lyrics: 1. Hear the wail across the sea Comes from millions unto thee— Weary ones who might be free Did they but know of Calvary. Refrain Wailing, wailing o’er the sea; Wailing, wailing unto thee; Wailing, wailing to be free; Go, tell them all of Calvary. 2. Hear the wail of broken hearts Rise from slavery’s cruel marts! There’s a balm for bitter smarts— The balm that’s found at Calvary. [Refrain] 3. Wailing of the prophet cursed, Of fanatics, wildest, worst, Help us, Lord, their chains to burst, And set them free by Calvary. [Refrain] 4. Hear the wail from priest-crushed lands, Man’s device for God’s commands— Forms at countless as the sands Have blocked the way to Calvary. Refrain] 5. Wailings reach this favored shore, Wailings ceasing nevermore; Men are dying evermore; Go, tell them all of Calvary. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Hear the wail across the sea]
