The world's great heart is aching,
Aching fiercely in the night.
And God alone can hear it--
And God alone can give light.

The men to hear the message
And speak the living Word.
And you and I, my brother,
And the missions who have heard.

We grovel among trifles
And our spirits fret and toss.
While above us burns the vision
Of Christ upon the Cross.

And the blood of Christ streaming
From his pierced hands and side.
And the lips of Christ are saying
Tell the lost that I have died.

No power of man shall thwart us
No strongholds shall dismay.
When God commands obedience
And love has led the way.

~ Anon.

For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

~ Luke 19:10
