Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

Souls in heathen darkness lying 
Souls in heathen darkness lying, Where no light has broken through, Souls that Jesus bought by dying, Whom His soul in travail knew. Thousand voices Call us o'er the waters blue. 
Christians, hearken! none has taught them Of His love so deep and dear, Of the precious price that bought them, Of the nail, the thorn, the spear ; Ye who know Him, Guide them from their darkness drear. 
Haste, O haste, and spread the tidings Wide to earth's remotest strand ; Let no brother's bitter chidings Rise against us, when we stand In the judgement. From some far, forgotten land. 
Lo! the hills for harvest whiten All along each distant shore; Seaward far the islands brighten — Light of nations, lead us o'er : When we seek them, Let Thy Spirit go before.
