In the Deserts let me labour
On the mountain let me tell
How he Died—the blessed Savior
^the blessed^ To redeem a world from hell
Let me has hasten
Far in heathen lands to dwell

Bear me on thou restless ocean
Let the winds my canvass swell
Heaves my heart with warm emotion
While I go far hence to dwell
Glad I bid thee
Native land Farewell Farewell
