   1. There’s a call comes ringing over 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!

   Refrain
      Send the light,      the blessèd Gospel light;
                               Send the Light!                 blessed gospel light
      Let it shine       from shore to shore!
                             let it shine                         from shore to shore
      Send the light, the blessèd Gospel light;
      Let it shine forevermore!

   2. We have heard the Macedonian call today,
      “Send the light! Send the light!”
      And a golden offering at the cross we lay,
      Send the light! Send the light!

   Refrain

   3. Let us pray that grace may everywhere abound,
      “Send the light! Send the light!”
      And a Christlike spirit everywhere be found,
      Send the light! Send the light!

   Refrain

   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!

   Refrain
