1 On the borders of eternity
The world is standing now,
In a moment all the wicked
Will be lost in endless woe;
Oh, they need some Gospel teacher
That they might salvation know;
Who will quickly go and warn them?
Brother, sister, will you go?
Refrain:
Hear them calling for the Gospel,
Come and help us to be saved;
Hear them calling for the Gospel,
Come and help us to be saved.
2 Oh, how gratefully we welcome now
The gleam of freedom’s light,
Yet the millions have not seen it,
Still they roam in deepest night;
Hear, oh hear from every nation
Cries of sorrow and distress,
Time is surely, swiftly ending,
Haste their dying souls to bless. [Refrain]
3 We will pray the Lord to send His
Saving truth thro’ every land,
"Go ye, therefore," saith the Master;
Do you hear the great command?
Oh, review your consecration,
Hasten to the harvest field,
And a thousand souls in Heaven
Gathered, be thy golden yield. [Refrain]
