Dear Children Far Away

Author: H. W. Porter Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10046 Meter: 11.11.11.11 First Line: In lands full of darkness across the blue wave Lyrics: 1 In lands full of darkness across the blue wave, Are many dear children the Lord died to save; Who, reaching out hands from far over the sea, Are pleading for light shining on us so free. 2 No kind Christian parents to show them the way, To tell them of Jesus, to teach them to pray; To lead them in pathways of wisdom and truth, And teach them the love of our God in their youth. 3 No Bible to brighten their pathway of gloom, No hope full of glory beyond the dark tomb; No promise of God the sad soul to sustain, No knowledge that death to the Christian is gain. 4 No Jesus, no Bible—how sad is the sight, While here o’er our pathway the Gospel shines bright; Lord, open our hearts to the poor children there, To give them the Bible, our help, and our prayer. Languages: English Tune Title: KOBE
