Lyrics

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.

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

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.
