To the millions living
o’er the deep, deep sea
Speed the light, speed the light;
To their cry of pity
dare we heedless be?
Speed the light, O speed the light.
Speed the light,
the blessèd Gospel light,
To the lands which are
in gloom and night;
Souls are waiting,
and the fields are white,
Speed the light, O speed the light.
There in anguish millions
for the Gospel wait,
Speed the light, speed the light;
Go and seek their rescue
ere it is too late,
Speed the light, O speed the light.
Speed the light,
the blessèd Gospel light,
To the lands which are
in gloom and night;
Souls are waiting,
and the fields are white,
Speed the light, O speed the light.
Jesus bids us bear to them
the Gospel news,
Speed the light, speed the light;
Can the souls He ransomed
His request refuse?
Speed the light, O speed the light.
Speed the light,
the blessèd Gospel light,
To the lands which are
in gloom and night;
Souls are waiting,
and the fields are white,
Speed the light, O speed the light.
We will go, and in our
blessèd Master’s Name
Speed the light, speed the light;
We will His salvation
and His love proclaim,
Speed the light, O speed the light.
Speed the light,
the blessèd Gospel light,
To the lands which are
in gloom and night;
Souls are waiting,
and the fields are white,
Speed the light, O speed the light.
