Send the Light

1 There’s a call comes ringing o’er 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 blessed gospel light;  
Let it shine from shore to shore!  
Send the light, the blessed gospel light;  
Let it shine forevermore!  

2 We have heard the Macedonian call today,  
“Send the light! Send the light!”  
And a golden off’ring 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 Christ-like 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]
