The heathen perish;--day by day,

Thousands on thousands pass away!

O Christians! to their rescue fly,

Preach Jesus to them ere they die.

Wealth, labour, talents, freely give,

Yea, life itself, that they may live;

What hath your Saviour done for You?

And what for Him will ye not do?

Thou Spirit of the Lord, go forth,

Call in the south, wake up the north;

Of every clime, from sun to sun,

Gather God's children into one.
