Speed The Light

1 There’s a land beyond the sea
Where the fields are white and fair;
Hear the cry, oh, souls redeemed—
From the lost ones over there.

Refrain:
Speed the light, or else we die;
Souls redeemed, oh, speed the light.
Heed, oh heed, our anguished cry—
Speed the light, oh, speed the light.

2 Hear our cry, for soon for us
Day will sink in endless night;
Give us help ere ’tis too late—
Speed the light, oh speed the light. [Refrain]

3 Still they cry! Give heed, oh soul,
Jesus died that they might live;
Dare ye turn a deafened ear?
Dare refuse the light to give? [Refrain]

4 Know, my soul, ’tis not enough
That you sing and softly pray;
Speed the light, oh, speed the light!
Jesus calls—do not delay. [Refrain]
