132. Send a Great Wave of Salvation

1 Lord hear us today, O turn not away,
For sin has caused great desolation,
For Thy aid today, we earnestly pray,
Lord send a great wave of salvation.

Chorus:
Dear Lord send a wave, poor sinners to save,
O may it sweep o'er ev'ry nation,
May it as it rolls, engulf many souls,
Lord send a great wave of salvation.

2 As we look around, how many are found,
Now living in sin's degradation,
O help us to win them from paths of sin,
Lord send a great wave of salvation. [Chorus]

3 We thank Thee dear Lord, that Thou in Thy word,
Hast given a great revelation,
We read "God is love," so now from above,
Lord send a great wave of salvation. [Chorus]

4 We read that at last, when this life is past,
There will come a great separation,
One that never ends, O save our dear friends,
Lord send a great wave of salvation. [Chorus]

5 When this life is o'er, may we on that shore,
Unite in the great jubilation,
But while here we stay, we'll pray night and day,
Lord send a great wave of salvation. [Chorus]
