Representative Text

1 Go spread the light and let it shine,
In all its brilliancy divine,
Where shadows dark and deep recline,
Go spread the light, Go spread the Light.

Refrain:
Oh, blood bought souls, from slumber rise,
The morn is breaking o’er the skies,
A blessed work before you lies,
Go spread the light, Go spread the light.

2 Go spread the light of Him who taught
These truths with love and mercy fraught,
That priest and prophet long had sought,
Go spread the light, Go spread the Light. [Refrain]

3 Go spread the light of Him who died,
The blessed Savior crucified,
With wounded hands and feet and side;
Go spread the light, Go spread the Light. [Refrain]

4 Go spread the light of Him who rose,
Triumphant over all His foes,
The healer of man’s deepest woes;
Go spread the light, Go spread the Light. [Refrain]

5 Go spread the light that man may see
In Christ his immortality,
And be in Him forever free;
Go spread the light, Go spread the Light. [Refrain]

6 Go spread the light on pinions fleet,
Until this world and heaven meet
In love and fellowship complete;
Go spread the light, Go spread the Light. [Refrain]
