A CRY FROM AFRICA.

By Eliza H. Morton

BY ELIZA H. MORTON.
"Ethiopia shall haste to stretch out her hands unto God."
FROM a land that's dark as night— Africa—few stars its light, Comes a native's pleading cry, "Help my people ere they die! O my people! my people! Help my people!
They are perishing in sin, O, my heart is sad within. Millions waiting just to hear That a Saviour strong is near. O my people! my people! Help my people!
Teachers in America, Love has power to hearts unbar. Dark our skins, yet blood the same, Come and teach in Jesus' name. O my people! my people! Help my people!
Jesus's coming; coming soon— Jesus, bright and glorious One— His salvation is for all If they heed His tender call. O my people! my people! Help my people!
Help my people in their need, To the message they'll give heed; Glad its notes, yea, sweet its sound, Safe the refuge to be found. O my people! my people! Help my people!
