Tune:[There's a call comes ringing o'er the restless wave]
Composer:Chas. H. Gabriel

124. Send The Light

1 There's a call comes ringing o'er the restless wave,
Send the light! send the light!
There are souls to rescue, there are souls to save,
Send the light! send the light!

Chorus:
Send the light! the blessed gospel light,
Let it shine from shore to shore!
Send the light! the blessed gospel light,
Let it shine forevermore.

2 We have heard the Macedonian call today,
Send the light! send the light!
And a golden off'ring at the cross we lay,
Send the light! send the light! [Chorus]

3 We will pray that grace may ev'rywhere abound,
Send the light! send the light!
And a Christ-like spirit ev'rywhere we lay,
Send the light! send the light! [Chorus]

4 We will not grow weary in the work of love,
Send the light! send the light!
Let us gather jewels for a crown above,
Send the light! send the light! [Chorus]
