Lyrics

Over there where the hea­then are dy­ing,
Over there where the sin forc­es dwell,
We must car­ry the great sal­va­tion,
We must go and the glad sto­ry tell.

Refrain

Over there where the mil­lions
Are dy­ing, ov­er there,
Over there where God’s thoughts
Are turn­ing, ov­er there;
Over there dark­ened hearts
Are yearn­ing, ov­er there,
We will pray for the souls ov­er there.

Over there where temp­ta­tion is call­ing,
Over there where the vic­es abound,
We must tell of the One who con­quers,
We must tell of the Christ we have found.

Refrain

Over there they are call­ing and dy­ing,
Over there in the dark­ness they roam,
They are wait­ing to hear of Je­sus,
They are call­ing to us, Won’t you come?
