Speed Away

Speed away

speed away

on your mis­sion of light

To the lands that are ly­ing in dark­ness and night;

’Tis the Mas­ter’s com­mand; go ye forth in His name

The won­der­ful Gos­pel of Je­sus pro­claim;

Take your lives in your hand

To the work while ’tis day

Speed away

speed away

speed away.

Speed away

speed away with the life giv­ing Word;

To the na­tions that know not the voice of the Lord;

Take the wings of the morn­ing and fly o’er the wave

In the strength of your Mas­ter the lost ones to save;

He is call­ing once more

Not a mo­ment’s de­lay

Speed away

speed away

speed away.

Speed away

speed away with the mes­sage of rest

To the souls by the tempt­er in bond­age op­pressed;

For the Sav­ior has pur­chased their ran­som from sin

And the ban­quet is rea­dy

O ga­ther them in;

To the res­cue make haste

There’s no time for de­lay

Speed away

speed away

speed away.
