Author: F. B. Hymnal: Light and Life Songs #129 (1904) First Line: I heard the voice of weeping Refrain First Line: Go forth, go forth with weeping Lyrics: 1 I heard the voice of weeping,
The cry came o’er the sea,
It filled my heart with anguish
To know their misery.
Chorus:
Go forth, go forth with weeping,
The gospel tidings bear;
To ev’ry land and nation,
His matchless love declare.
2 They’re dying by the thousands,
In ignorance of God,
They perish for the mercy
Which comes thro’ Jesus’ blood. [Chorus]
3 Where are the hands to help them?
Who’ll volunteer today,
To leave their friends and loved ones,
And help this curse to stay? [Chorus]
4 I heard the faithful workers,
Responding to the call,
The gospel light to carry
All round this sin-cursed ball. [Chorus]
