Melodies of Praise Lyrics
Hymn No.255
First Line: 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
Let us pray that grace may ev'rywhere abound, \Send the light! Send the light!\
And a Christ-like spirit ev'rywhere be found,
Send the light!
Send the light!
[Chorus]
4
Let us 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]
