Send The Light

Author: Emma F. Barrows Appears in 5 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 First Line: There are lands far away o’er the sea Refrain First Line: Send the light all the way Lyrics: 1 There are lands far away o’er the sea, Where in darkness are souls seeking light, And the call comes to you and to me, Who have learned of the way pure and right. Refrain: Send the light all the way, That the marvelous glory divine Turn the darkness to day, Till the whole world for Jesus shall shine. 2 In the darkness of error they grope, And the Savior in whom we abide Cannot cheer with one bright ray of hope, Till we teach them to walk by His side.
