Kingdom Songs ‎#57

57. Send It On

1 In the distant lands souls benighted dwell,
In their hearts no hope or joy;
Shall we not to them the old story tell,
That shall doubt and fear destroy?

Chorus:
Send it on, blessed tidings of good cheer,
Send it o’er the ocean’s foam;
Send it on, till the lost of earth shall hear
Of that bright eternal home.

2 Hear the plaintive cry from across the sea,
From the captive’s bound by sin,—
“Send, O send the Word, that shall set us free,
And our souls for Jesus win!” [Chorus]

3 There is joy divine unto him who gives
And who loveth ev’ry one;
Ev’ry day and hour in God’s smile he lives,
And will hear at last “Well done!” [Chorus]
