Far across the heaving main ;
Speed the news of full salvation
Through 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 !
2 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!
3 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.
