The Messenger of Peace

Author: Asa Hull Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16731 First Line: Over the billows, over the sea Refrain First Line: Over the billows, over the sea Lyrics: 1. Over the bil­lows, o­ver the sea, Cometh the good ship on­ward so free; Brother in Je­sus, ov­er the sea, Bringeth the good ship safe to the lea. Refrain: Over the bil­lows, ov­er the sea, Friends of the child­ren wel­come shall be; Brother in Je­sus, faith­ful and true, Hearts full of wel­come are wait­ing for you. 2. Cometh the greet­ing, words of good cheer, Cometh the god-speed un­to us here; Bidding us la­bor, learn­ing to wait, Working for Jesus, ear­ly and late. [Refrain] 3. Counting our plea­sures, all things but loss; Winning the lost ones un­to the cross: Soldier of Je­sus, ov­er the sea, Bearer of tid­ings, wel­come shall be. [Refrain] 4. Over the wa­ters clasp­ing warm hands; Kind ties and holy bind­ing two lands; You of the old­en, we of the new, All in one ar­my, let us be true. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Over the billows, over the sea]
