Over the mount­ains so bleak and so cold,
Far from the beau­ti­ful ci­ty of gold;
Lost ones are stray­ing be­cause you and I
Never have told them a Sav­ior is nigh.

Refrain

O, won’t some­bo­dy tell them,
Tell them of Cal­va­ry’s tree;
Tell them the story of Je­sus,
What a great Sav­ior is He!

Lost ones are grop­ing in sin’s aw­ful night,
Falling and dy­ing away from the right;
Many the mes­sage of Christ ne­ver heard,
Lost ones for whom no one ev­er has cared.

Refrain

Speed with the mes­sage, oh, speed in His name,
Hasten the sto­ry of Christ to pro­claim!
Hasten to bring back the fall­en and lost,
Speed with the mes­sage, what­ev­er the cost!

Refrain
