Send The Gospel Light

by Fanny J. Crosby

Send the Light, O send it quickly,
For across the heaving main;
Speed the news of full Salvation
Through a dear Redeemer's name.

Send the Light, where souls are dying
In their darkness, gloom and night;
Haste O haste! the days are fleeting
And the hours how swift their flight!

Send the Light; the Lord commands it;
To His Holy Word attend;
"Go ye forth and preach my gospel;
Lo, I'm with tyou to the end."

Chorus

Send the light, O send it quickly,
To the isle beyond the sea;
Let them hear; the wondrous story
Love is boundless, grace is free.
