Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A 19th-century gospel hymn by Charles H. Gabriel calling believers to spread the Gospel to all nations. Inspired by the Macedonian call in Acts 16, it frames world mission as an urgent, joyful duty.
Verse 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, and let its radiant beams,
Light the world forevermore!
Verse 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
Send the light, the blessed Gospel light;
Let it shine from shore to shore!
Send the light, and let its radiant beams,
Light the world forevermore!
Verse 3
Let us pray that grace may everywhere abound,
"Send the light! Send the light!"
And a Christ-like spirit everywhere 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, and let its radiant beams,
Light the world forevermore!
Verse 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, and let its radiant beams,
Light the world forevermore!
