Send the Gospel Light

Verse 1

Send the Light, O send it quickly, Far across the heaving main; Speed the news of full Salvation Thro' the great Redeemer's name.

Chorus

Send the light, O send it quickly, To the isles, beyond the sea; Let them hear the wondrous story-- Love is boundless, grace is free.

Verse 2

Send the Light, where souls are dying In their darkness, gloom and night; Haste, O haste! the days are fleeting, And the hours--how swift their flight!

Verse 3

Send the Light, the world is waiting; Hands are stretch'd across the main; Oh, that piercing cry of anguish! Must it plead with us in vain?

Verse 4

Send the Light, the Lord commands it; To His Holy Word attend; "Go ye forth and preach my gospel; Lo, I'm with you to the end."
