Author: Clara M. Brooke Hymnal: Songs of Grace and Glory #204 (1918) First Line: Over the billows sighing Refrain First Line: Out from the darkness Lyrics: 1 Over the billows sighing, Millions in sin are dying, Dying in sad despair. Point them to Calv’ry’s mountain, To the Redeemer there. Refrain: Out from the darkness There comes the sad cry: “Save us, oh, save us, We perish and die.” 2 Glory our way o’erspreading, Bright is the path we’re treading, Under a cloudless sky; While in their sunless prison Helpless the heathen die. [Refrain] 3 Hopelessly blind and weeping, Sowing in sin and reaping, Reaping its sure reward. Tell them of Jesus’ dying, How it doth life afford. [Refrain] 4 Still is the Savior pleading, Go with the torch of freedom, Go with his love aflame! Love will beguile the wand’rer Home from his guilt and shame.

Clara McAlister Brooks

1882 - 1980 Person Name: Clara M. Brooke Author of "Save, Oh, Save!" in Songs of Grace and Glory Birth: Oct. 9, 1882, Parke County, Indiana, USA Death: Mar. 20, 1980, Tampa, Hillsborough County, Florida, USA Clara McAlister Brooks was one of our early songwriters and four of her pieces are in the current hymnal. From the earliest days of the movement we have had women prominent in all forms of our ministry—missionaries, evangelists, teachers, pastors, and God has honored their sacrificial labors. For that reason we can stand in amazement when here, in the 1970s, such old-line denominations as the Episcopal church are being racked with controversy over whether the ordination of women is permissible. But before we gather Pharisaic robes about ourselves, perhaps we need to look candidly at the way in which we, too, succumbed to some of the cultural and prejudicial patterns of later decades! --www.whwomenclergy.org/articles/
