52. Over There

1 Over there where the heathen are dying,
Over there where the sin forces dwell,
We must carry the great salvation;
We must go and the glad story tell.

Refrain:
Over there where the millions are dying, over there,
Over there where God's tho’ts are turning, over there;
Over there darkened hearts are yearning, over there
We will pray for the souls over there.

2 Over there where temptation is calling,
Over there where the vices abound,
We must tell of the One who conquers,
We must tell of the Christ we have found. [Refrain]

3 Over there they are calling and dying,
Over there in the darkness they roam,
They are waiting to hear of Jesus,
They are calling to us, "Won't you come?" [Refrain]
