Missions

By W. S. Whitacre

There are many desert places, Far away beyond the sea, Where the unenlightened races Hunger for the gospel plea. To those far-off wildernesses, Long with vices overgrown, God the Father sends, and blesses, Ministers to save his own.
If we can not go there, preaching Jesus who was crucified, We can send a message, teaching That for them a Saviour died. We can help to lift the sorrow From some brother in despair; We can help to make the morrow Of some sister bright and fair.
There are souls, in many regions Round about us, famishing For the Bread of Life, and legions Know not Jesus as their King. If we can not go and feed them, We can lend a helping hand, Send a messenger to lead them, And fulfil the Lord's command.
Let us give in fullest measure As the Lord has prospered each; Let us open heart and treasure As the Holy Scriptures teach. Let us send the proclamation That the Word of Life is free To the sons of God's creation, Both at home and o'er the sea. —W. S. Whitacre, in Christian Standard.
