First Line: Speed away ! speed away on your mission of light,

Speed away ! speed away on your mission of light,
To the lands that are lying in darkness and night ;
'Tis the Master's command; go ye forth in His name,
The wonderful Gospel of Jesus proclaim.
Take your lives in your hand, to the work while 'tis day,
Speed away ! speed away ! speed away !

2 Speed away ! speed away with the life-giving Word,
To the nations that know not the voice of the Lord ;
Take the wings of the morning and fly o'er the wave,
In the strength of your Master the lost ones to save.
He is calling once more — not a moment's delay !
Speed away ! speed away ! speed away !

3 Speed away ! speed away with the message of rest,
To the souls by the tempter in bondage opprest ;
For the Saviour has purchased their ransom from sin,
And the banquet is ready : oh, gather them in !
To the rescue make haste, there's no time for delay,
Speed away ! speed away ! speed away !
