Send the Gospel Light

lyricist: Fanny Crosby, 1899
Composer: Ira Sankey

Send the light

oh

send it quick­ly

Far across the heav­ing main;

Speed the news of full sal­va­tion

Thro’ a dear Re­deem­er’s name.

Send the light

oh

send it quick­ly

To the isles be­yond the sea;

Let them hear the won­drous sto­ry—

Love is bound­less

grace is free!

Send the light

where souls are dy­ing

In their dark­ness

gloom

and night;

Haste

oh 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 you to the end.
