96. Lead Them to the Light

1 There are thousands waiting, waiting for a message from the Lord,
Waiting for the light of God;
In the far off land of darkness they are waiting for the light,
Waiting for the light of God.

Chorus:
Tell them that it shineth bright,
Shines for one and all;
Tell them that its blessed rays
Over them shall fall;
Tell them, lead them,
Lead them to the light of God.

2 They are calling, "come and help us, lead us from the gloom of night,
Lead us to the light of God;
Lead us to the Sun of heaven give us light,
Lead us to the light of God." [Chorus]

3 Tell them that the blessed Master sends his holy, loving word,
Hasten with the light of God;
Over sea and over mountains let the joyful news be heard,
Hasten with the light of God. [Chorus]

4 There are thousands waiting, waiting for the light that shines from heav'n,
Hasten with the light of God;
Send it forth and send it gladly, freely, freely was it given,
Hasten with the light of God. [Chorus]
