138. Send The Light

1 There's a call comes ringing o'er the restless wave,
Send the light! send the light!
There are souls to rescue, there are souls to save,
Send the light! send the light!

First Chorus:
We will spread the everlasting light,
With a willing, willing heart and hand,
Giving God the glory evermore,
We will follow, follow His command,

Second Chorus:
Send the light! the blessed gospel light,
Let it shine from shore to shore!
Send the light! the blessed gospel light,
Let it shine forevermore.

2 We have hear the Macedonian call today,
Send the light! send the light!
And a golden off'ring at the cross we lay,
Send the light! send the light! [Chorus]

3 We will pray that grace may ev'rywhere abound,
Send the light! send the light!
And a Christlike spirit ev'rywhere be found,
Send the light! send the light! [Chorus]

4 We will not grow weary in the work of love,
Send the light! send the light!
Let us gather jewels for a crown above,
Send the light! send the light! [Chorus]
