From Greenlands Icy Mountain
From Greenlands icy mountains, From Indias
coral strand Where Africs sunny fountains Roll
down their golden sand From many an ancient
river, From many a palmy plain, They call us to
deliver Their land from errors chain.
1-3

From Greenlands Icy Mountain
What though the spicy breezes Blow soft oer
Ceylons isle Though evry prospect pleases, And
only man is vile! In vain, with lavish
kindness, The gifts of God are strown The
heathen, in their blindness, Bow down to wood and
stone.

From Greenlands Icy Mountain
Shall we, whose souls are lighted With wisdom
from on high, Shall we to men benighted The lamp
of life deny? Salvation! O salvation! The joyful
sound proclaim, Till earths remotest nation Has
heard Messiahs Name.
