Hymn 133: Look with compassion on the coasts

E fi oju iyonu wo

  1. Look with compassion on the coasts
    And the land of the heathen
    See, how in their thousands, they are
    Struggling and dying in sin
    Darkness cover, darkness covers
    Many lives in our vast land.

  2. The light of people in darkness
    Arise, bring blessings to us
    Light for those in heathen darkness
    Come, with healing in Thy wings
    Let all the kings, let all the kings
    Come into Thy blazing light.

  3. Let all the heathens who worship
    Gods of wood and gods of stone
    Come, that they might fall down and bow
    Before the almighty God
    Let Thy glory, let thy glory
    Cover all the land and sea.

  4. Thou, to whom all might is given
    Speak the word, give the decree
    Let the company of preachers
    Proclaim Thy name all abroad.
    Be Thou with them, be Thou with them
    Even, Lord, unto the end.
