The Cry of Alaska.
(Tune: lieulah Land)
There in a land far, fur away
A land an beautiful as day,
Hut i>h a darkness deep an night
Is shutting out the heavenly light.
Chorus.
Alaska, laud where children cry,
Alaska, land where women sigh,
Where reigns the cold and ice and snow,
Where men are lost in sin and woe,
The light, the life, the truth we’ll take,
To this . . land for Jesus sake.
Oh land of superstitions reigh,
Oh land of sin and want and pain
Upon this laud of deep distress,
Arise oh Sun of Righteousness.
Chorus.
Awake, ch Church, the gospel send,
\cur prayers and alms together blend,
Oo forth with message all devine,
Alaska tjicn shall rise and shine.
Chorus.
