Send forth thy light, O Zion

Verse 1

Send forth your light, O Zion! Out from your tow'rs shall go the radiant beams a people in tune with God can know. Upborne by higher concepts of God's eternal call, let shine afar the guide-lights, revealing God to all.

Verse 2

Send forth your love, O Zion! Your call is from above, to make on earth incarnate Christ's sacrificial love. For by the saints outreaching to those their lives can bless shall come Zionic witness to heal earth's brokenness.

Verse 3

Send forth your life, O Zion! Not for yourself alone have come life-giving powers by which the soul has grown. Your promise builds a people well-skilled in mind and hand. Your life is like a leaven of hope in every land.
