Ray Appears in 10 hymnals First Line: Go, ye children of light Refrain First Line: Over mountain and sea Lyrics: 1 Go, ye children of light, Go and banish the night, Go as heralds of Christ and the day; Go, salvation proclaim, In the Saviour’s dear name, Go and drive all the darkness away. Refrain: Over mountain and sea, Where the lost ones may be, Let the news of redemption be told; Till o’er valley and plain, Our Redeemer shall reign, And the wand’ring are bro’t to the fold. 2 Go, whate’er may betide, O’er the desert so wide, Bid the weak and despairing arise; That each heart may enthrone The Redeemer alone, And to Him lift their sin-darkened eyes. [Refrain] 3 Where the sunlight may gleam Over lake-let or stream, O’er the wild, rough and lonely highway; Go from shore unto shore, Go in faith evermore, Bear the light of the glad gospel day.
