Send Out a Light

lyricist: Mary Bernstecher, 1916
Composer: Daniel Towner

Send out a light as you go your way

A bea­con of hope when sha­dows are gray;

Send out a light that for Je­sus will shine

Proving to oth­ers God’s mer­cy di­vine.

Send out a light

a ra­di­ant light

That will pierce thro’ the gloom

Of some­one’s dark night

Send out a light

a bright beam­ing light

Send out a light for Je­sus.

Send out a light when your bur­dens press

And show to the world that Je­sus will bless;

Thro’ dark­est sor­rows and bit­ter­est pain

Send out a light—it will not shine in vain.

Send out a light un­to those who stray

All heed­less along de­struct­ion’s high­way;

Point them to path­ways of pur­er de­light

And let your life dai­ly send out a light.
