Crofts Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Go spread the light and let it shine Refrain First Line: Oh, blood bought souls, from slumber rise Lyrics: 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.
