5992. Send the Light

1. There’s a call comes ringing over 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 blessèd Gospel light;
Let it shine from shore to shore!
Send the light, the blessèd Gospel light;
Let it shine forevermore!

2. We have heard the Macedonian call today,
Send the light! Send the light!
And a golden offering 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 Christlike 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]
