Robert Moffat Missions



He has come from the Glen
To a fearsome place

It is dry and raw

Giving ostrich space.

And he made his camp

With the family sweet.

Waiting patiently

For a tribe to meet.



They are warriors cruel

And they love to fight

Will his Gospel gold

Move them toward the right.

And will charity

Take a throne in hearts.

And will Jesus' rule

Get this chance to start.
