Savior, Let Thy Gospel Light

Savior

let Thy Gos­pel light

Pierce the shades of hea­then night;

O’er a world long lost in sin

Let Thy glo­ri­ous reign be­gin.

Send the mes­sage of Thy grace

Far amongst our guil­ty race;

To all na­tions speak Thy Word

Bid them own their right­ful Lord.

At the sil­ver trum­pet’s sound

Hurl their id­ols to the ground;

Turn them from their ev­il ways

Tune their hearts to sing Thy praise.

Ripening fields ap­pear in view

But the la­bor­ers are few;

Lord

in­crease the lit­tle band

Send them forth to ev­ery land:

Give them cour­age and suc­cess

All their faith­ful la­bors bless;

And com­mis­sion them to bring

Pardoned re­bels to their king.
