To a Departing Missionary
By M.A.Y. Greenhalgh
There have come across the waters,
Sounds of pleading in the night,
From souls who are in darkness living
Asking thee to bring them light.
‘Tis not from the untaught heathen,
Not from them the summons came,
But from Christian lands they call thee,
To bring the Gospel in His name.
(1890)

I’m descended from Greenhalghs, so this sent me down a fun family history rabbit hole. Thank you!
