Author: Grace Lindsey Hymnal: Glorious Praise #71 (1904) First Line: Christian brethren, o'er the main Refrain First Line: Carry the news o'er waters blue Lyrics: 1 Christian brethren, o’er the main
Carry the news of Jesus;
Go where night and darkness reign,
Lovingly haste away.
Refrain:
Carry the news o’er waters blue,
Perishing souls are waiting for you;
Stretching their hands, they plead for light,
Blessed Gospel light.
2 Onward, quickly, hear their cry
Over the deep resounding;
Save the millions ere they die,
Earnestly haste away. [Refrain]
3 Tell them Judah’s Morning Star,
Peacefully, calmly shining,
Spreads its beams o’er climes afar;
Pray’rfully haste away. [Refrain]
4 Christian brethren, preach the Word,—
Publish a free salvation;
Lo, in heav’n your bright reward;
Joyfully haste away. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Christian brethren, o'er the main]
