The Perishing Millions

Author: P. M. Johnson Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: In the lands of pagan darkness Refrain First Line: Millions calling; brother, listen Lyrics: 1 In the lands of pagan darkness, Millions perishing today; Knowing naught of Jesus’ goodness, Naught of Christ, the living way. Refrain: Millions calling; brother, listen— Rushing, sweeping on to hell; O’er the ocean let us hasten, Christ’s redeeming love to tell. 2 Millions there in heathen blindness, Going down to endless woe; Knowing naught of Jesus’ kindness, How He died, He loved them so. [Refrain] 3 Millions there in darkness pleading, Calling now to you and me, Brother, are you even heeding? Calling now they are to thee. [Refrain] 4 Millions there in darkness dying, Christ unknown, without a hope; Brother, they to you are crying, As they thro’ their darkness grope. [Refrain] 5 Millions there, great temples thronging, Seeking help of wood and stone; Brother, they for help are longing, Help that can for sin atone. [Refrain] Used With Tune: COPACABANA Text Sources: Sweet Harmonies by C. M. Barnes (Eureka Springs, Ark.: C. M. Barnes, 1896)
