Author: Robert G. Staples Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8975 First Line: See the heathen nations, bending Refrain First Line: Lo! the field, go preach salvation Lyrics: 1 See the heathen nations, bending
Down to idols made by hands;
Christians, shall we fail in sending
Gospel light to other lands?
Refrain:
Lo! the field, go preach salvation,
Broadcast scatter golden grain.
God, the strength of every nation,
Sure will send the gracious rain.
2 See the wickedness surrounding,
Even at your very door;
Men are found in sin abounding,
Blessed by God with bounteous store. [Refrain]
3 Shall we see the heathen near us,
Or the more benighted die,
While we’ve time to work for Jesus?
If not, Christian, tell me why? [Refrain]
4 We should always love to labor,
There’s no time to idly stand,
If we wish His gracious favor,
When we reach the glory land. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [See the heathen nations, bending]
