Composer: | Charles H. Gabriel |
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!
Refrain:
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 heard 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! [Refrain]
3 Let us pray that grace may everywhere abound;
Send the light! Send the light!
And a Christ-like spirit everywhere be found;
Send the light! Send the light! [Refrain]
4 Let us 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! [Refrain]
