UNTIL THEY KNOW

A Missions Ballad

Author Known but to God

(Sung to the Tune of How Great Thou Art)

 

Oh, when I think of all the many millions

Who do not know the sound of Thy sweet Name,

Who do not know the miracle of Calvary

Who never can thy great salvation claim.

 

Then cries my heart, "O teach me Lord to care,

Until they know how great Thou art!"

Then cries my heart, "O teach me Lord to care,

Until they know how great Thou art!"

 

Oh, when I think of all the heathen idols,

These lifeless gods, just made of wood and stone.

And when I think of people calling to them,

Deaf ears that cannot hear the heart-sick groan.

 

Then cries my heart, "O make us go and tell,

Of Jesus whom we love so well."

Then cries my heart, "O make us go and tell,

Of Jesus whom we love so well."

 

But when they know that Jesus died to save them,

And when they know the grace He can impart.

When Jesus shines His love divine within them,

When He transforms their sinful, darkened hearts.

 

Then they shall sing, My Saviour God to Thee,

"How Great Thou Art! How Great Thou Art!"

Then they shall sing, My Saviour God to Thee,

"How Great Thou Art! How Great Thou Art!"
