Send out thy light and truth, O Lord

Verse 1

Send out thy light and truth, O Lord, Let them our leaders be, To guide us to thy holy hill, where we shall worship thee; Send out thy light o'er land and sea, Till every heart shall bow to thee.

Chorus

Send out thy light, Thy light and truth, O Lord.

Verse 2

Send out thy light and truth, O Lord, Where sin's dark shadows fall; Arouse the soldiers of the cross To heed the trumpet's call; Send out thy truth where error reigns, And cleanse away its crimson stains.

Verse 3

Send out thy light and truth, O Lord, The tidings glad to spread, Till by those sweet evangel-tones, all nations shall be led; Send out thy light, O Beauteous Star, And beam upon the isles afar.

Verse 4

Send out thy light and truth, O Lord, To speed that glorious day When all the ransomed shall delight Thy precepts to obey; Send out thy truth, O Word divine, Till every blood-bought soul is thine.
