Songs of Grace and Glory ‎#204

204. Save, Oh, Save!

1 Over the billows sighing,
Millions in sin are dying,
Dying in sad despair.
Point them to Calv’ry’s mountain,
To the Redeemer there.

Refrain:
Out from the darkness
There comes the sad cry:
“Save us, oh, save us,
We perish and die.”

2 Glory our way o’erspreading,
Bright is the path we’re treading,
Under a cloudless sky;
While in their sunless prison
Helpless the heathen die. [Refrain]

3 Hopelessly blind and weeping,
Sowing in sin and reaping,
Reaping its sure reward.
Tell them of Jesus’ dying,
How it doth life afford. [Refrain]

4 Still is the Savior pleading,
Go with the torch of freedom,
Go with his love aflame!
Love will beguile the wand’rer
Home from his guilt and shame. [Refrain]
