SABBATH SCHOOL-MISSIONS |
Let me go, I cannot stay,
'Tis the Master calling me; Let me go, I must obey; Native land, farewell to thee.
On the shore beyond the sea,
Where the fields are bright and fair, There's a call, a plaintive plea, I must hasten to be there.
Hark! I hear the Master say,
"Up, ye reapers I why so slow?" To the vineyard, far away, Earthly kindred, let me go.
Just beyond the rolling tide,
The uplifted hand I see; Lo! the gates are open wide, And the lost are calling me.
Father, mother, darling child,
I must bid you all adieu; Far across the waters wild, There's a work for me to do.
On the shore beyond the sea, |
I. Baltzell | I. Baltzell |
