Come Over and Help Us

"Come Over and Help Us"

Hark to the cry that comes to us From o'er the deep blue sea, From heathen lands afar and near, A call to you and me.

"Come o'er and help us" is the cry; "Teach us of Jesus' love, How once He came to earth to die That we might reign above."

Can we who know the Saviour's love Not listen to this call, And something do for heathen lands, Who know Him scarce at all?

To some the call is, "Go thyself And teach the joyful news;" But this is not the work that God For every one would choose.

To some He says, "Thy money give To send My servants forth; E'en farthings given from love of Me Are in My sight of worth."

But there are some too poor, too young, Who money can not spare; And can they naught for missions do? Yea, raise their hearts in prayer.

Ask God to send His servants forth To sow the precious seed, To guide and bless them in their work, And give them help in need.

And when you hear of tidings glad, Sing praises to our God For wanderers brought into the fold, Saved by His precious blood. —Selected.
