[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 offering at the cross we lay;
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.

[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]
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.

[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]
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.
