Behold the hands stretched out for
aid,
Darkened by sin and sore dismayed;
Oh, will you to their rescue go,
Lost wand�rers down to endless
woe?
Refrain
We�ll girdle the
globe with salvation,
With holiness unto the Lord;
And light shall illumine each
nation,
The light from the lamp of His
Word.
In heathen lands they watch and
wait,
And sigh for help which comes so
late,
And grope in sin and nature�s
night,
Forever vainly seeking light.
Refrain
Oh, flash the tidings! shout
the sound,
In darkest lands the world around,
Till all the earth from pole to
pole,
Shall full salvation echoes roll.
Refrain
The watch fires kindle far and
near,
In ev�ry land let them appear,
Till burning lines of Gospel fire,
Shall gird the world and mount up
higher.
Refrain
