MISSIONARY HYMN.

By Sara Geraldina Stock

A CRY as of pain, Again and again, Is borne o'er the deserts and widespreading main: A cry from the lands that in darkness are lying, A cry from the hearts that in sorrow are sighing. It comes unto me; It comes unto thee; O what—O what shall the answer be?

O! hark to the call; It comes unto all Whom Jesus hath rescued from sin's deadly thrall; Come over and help us; in bondage we languish; Come over and help us; we die in our anguish. It comes unto me; It comes unto thee; O what—O what shall the answer be?

It comes to the soul That Christ hath made whole, The heart that is longing His name to extol. It comes with a chorus or pitiful wailing, It comes with a plea which is strong and prevailing; "For Christ's sake" to me; For Christ's sake to thee; O what—O what shall the answer be? —Sara Geraldina Stock.
