Common Hymnal's 'Send the Light' is a modern rendition of a classic missionary hymn. The song calls believers to spread the gospel message across the world, echoing the Macedonian call from Acts. It emphasizes prayer, sacrificial giving, and perseverance in sharing God's love. The lyrics encourage listeners not to grow weary in doing good, with the hope of eternal reward. The repeated refrain 'Send the light' serves as a rallying cry for evangelism and global missions.

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!


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!


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!


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!


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!
