Speed the Gospel On

See the hea­then o’er the sea

To their id­ols bend­ing low;

Thither with its pow­er di­vine

Let the bless­èd Gos­pel go!

Speed it on

speed it on;

Let sal­va­tion’s morn­ing dawn!

Speed the bless­èd Gos­pel on

Till the dark­ness is all gone.

They have nev­er

nev­er heard

Of that bet­ter home above;

Let them hear the sto­ry told

Of the Sav­ior’s dy­ing love!

As we hear it

o’er and o’er

How our hearts with glad­ness swell!

Speed it to the far­thest shore

Where the wretch­ed hea­then dwell!

Give a lit­tle

ev­ery one;

Freely give where much is thine;

’Mid the gloom of sor­row’s night

Let the bless­èd Gos­pel shine!
