Send the Light (Bell)

Composer: William Bell, 1896

See now the waves that bathe the shores

Reflecting light the sun out­pours;

So in all lands be­neath the sun

The reign of day is now be­gun.

Send the light

Oh

send it on!

Till all lands take up the song;

See the suf­fer­ing where they fall;

Hear

oh

hear

their plead­ing call.

The lands long dark by Sa­tan’s night

Sadly await the com­ing light;

There mill­ions sink in dead­ly dread

No pil­low sure for dy­ing head.

Too long the light have we with­held

Whose rays their night would have dis­pelled;

Speed on the day

the glo­ri­ous day

Thro’ Christ

the Light

the Truth

the Way.
