Doane, 1870 2 Though they are slighting Him, still He is waiting, Plead with them earnestly, plead with them gently; Rescue the perishing, etc. 3 Down in the human heart, crushed by the tempter, 4 Rescue the perishing, duty demands it; Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide: 391 F. J. Van Alstyne, 1870 2 How mournfully it echoes on! For half the earth is Macedon; These brethren to their brethren call, And by the Love which loved them all, And by the whole world's Life they cry, "O ye that live, behold, we die!" 3 By other sounds the world is won, Than that which wails from Macedon; The roar of gain is round it rolled; Or men unto themselves are sold, And cannot list the alien cry "O hear and help us, lest we die." 4 Yet with that cry from Macedon The very car of Christ rolls on; "I come; who would abide My day In yonder wilds prepare My way; My voice is crying in their cry; Help ye the dying, lest ye die." 5 Jesus, for men of Man the Son, 538 FRATERNITY William P. Merrill, 1908 1. MADE of one blood with all on earth who dwell, Born brothers of the 2 Our Elder Brother to a mortal frame And breathe His love to men through every living breath. 3 Amidst the troubled, grieving, overborne, Engirt with ill and poverty and pain, And bitter strife of greed for empty gain, Give us, O Lord, the sight with Christly eyes to see The hidden, soul-deep need of men for us and Thee.
