From Afar Across The Waters – Hymn Lyric
From afar, across the waters,
Where Atlantic’s billows roar,
Lashed by hurricanes to fury
On the sands of Afric’s shore,
Sweeps the cry of Macedonia:
Come and help us, come and help us.
From across the wide Pacific,
From the heart of Asia vast–
Asia, cradle of the nations,
Like a stirring bugle blast
Bursts the cry of Macedonia:
Come and help us, come and help us.
From the lands on India’s ocean,
Breeders of the hot simoon,
Mothering their dying millions,
Tolling like the bells of doom,
Rolls the cry of Macedonia:
Come and help us, come and help us.
From the sea-engirdled islands
On the east and on the west,
With the bread of life unnourished,
By the truth of God unblest,
Breaks the cry of Macedonia:
Come and help us, come and help us.
From the realms which rest ashiver
Far along the polar deeps,
Where the frightful, frozen horror
Watch in awful silence keeps,
Falls the cry of Macedonia:
Come and help us, come and help us.
Northward, southward, eastward, westward,
Mournful as a funeral wail,
Shouting, shrieking, sobbing, sighing,
On the breeze and on the gale,
Rides the cry of Macedonia:
Come and help us, come and help us.
Meaning of From Afar Across The Waters
From Afar Across The Waters: Answering the Cry of Macedonia
In the vast expanse of the Atlantic, where the waves crash and roar, there is a plea being desperately made. On the sandy shores of Afric, battered by fierce hurricanes, the cry of Macedonia resounds. “Come and help us, come and help us,” it echoes across the waters, reaching the hearts of those who have the power to make a difference.
But the call does not end there. It traverses across the wide Pacific, from the depths of Asia, the cradle of so many nations. Like a stirring bugle blast, the cry of Macedonia bursts forth, urging others to lend a helping hand. “Come and help us, come and help us,” it reverberates, awakening compassion in those who hear it.
Even from the lands that stretch along India’s ocean, where the hot simoon wind blows through, the cry of Macedonia is heard. These lands, teeming with millions of lives, are in desperate need of mothering, of care and understanding. Tolling like the bells of doom, the plea resounds, imploring others to take action. “Come and help us, come and help us,” it implores, hope glimmering within its words.
Not only from far-off lands, but from the sea-engirdled islands on the east and west, a sorrowful cry emerges. The people in these places are unnourished, deprived of the bread of life. They thirst for the truth of God, for the light that can dispel the darkness within their souls. The cry of Macedonia breaks through the silence, pleading for assistance. “Come and help us, come and help us,” it begs, longing for an outstretched hand.
Even from the icy realms, where the polar deeps freeze in an unforgiving tundra, the cry of Macedonia reaches our ears. In those frigid and desolate lands, where horror hides in the silence, the plea is made. “Come and help us, come and help us,” it echoes, carried by the wind, searching for compassionate souls who can alleviate their suffering.
From every direction, the cry of Macedonia makes itself known. It mourns with the sorrowful sound of a funeral wail, it shouts, it shrieks, it sobs, it sighs. On the gentle breeze and the fierce gale, it rides, determined to capture the attention of those who can offer aid. “Come and help us, come and help us,” it beseeches, its urgency growing with each passing moment.
Now, the question arises: How do we answer this call? How can we, in our own small ways, make a difference and lend a helping hand? It begins with awareness and understanding. By listening to the cry of Macedonia, we acknowledge the existence of these struggles, the pain and suffering that go unnoticed by many.
Education, empathetic conversations, and spreading awareness are crucial steps in helping those in need. By educating ourselves and others about the challenges faced by different communities, we can cultivate compassion within our hearts. Through empathetic conversations, we can learn from each other’s experiences, build bridges of understanding, and foster a sense of unity.
Taking action is equally important. Whether it’s volunteering our time, donating resources, or supporting organizations that work towards alleviating the hardships faced by these communities, every act counts. It may seem like a drop in the vast ocean, but collective effort can create a ripple effect, inspiring others to join the cause.
Supporting initiatives aimed at providing basic necessities, healthcare, education, and empowerment to those in need can bring about real change. By helping to break the cycle of poverty and inequality, we can create a world where the cry of Macedonia is no longer necessary.
So let us not turn a deaf ear to the plea from afar across the waters. Let us stand united, shoulder to shoulder, and heed the call of Macedonia. Together, we can make a difference and bring hope where it is needed the most. “Come and help us, come and help us,” the cry continues, but this time, it is met with a resounding response: “We are here, and we will help you.”
