Author: Mary Bridges Canedy Slade Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9357 First Line: I wandered just at even Refrain First Line: A soft wind whispered Lyrics: 1 I wandered just at even,
Beside the sounding sea;
The whispering winds of Heaven
Their story told to me;
The east wind said, I’m hasting
From tropic Ganges’ wave;
Where children they were casting
Within a watery grave.
Refrain:
A soft wind whispered,
Who will send or go,
To teach the heathen
Jesus’ love to know?
2 The north wind told its story,
With one swift angry blast,
Of Indian offerings gory,
It saw, in rushing past;
Where far off northern nations
In forests dark and deep,
With fearful incantations
Their heathen vigils keep. [Refrain]
3 The south wind said, I’m telling
Of polar southern night;
When angry surges swelling,
The darkened souls afright;
I saw no offering burning;
No incense filled the air;
No souls to God were turning;
No gods they worship there! [Refrain]
4 The evening winds passed o’er me,
The angry northern blast,
Across the sea before me,
Went hasting, far and fast;
The zephyrs ceased their wailing,
And in my heart, I heard,
This promise, never failing,
The earth shall know the Lord! [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I wandered just at even]
