Verse 3
Let us pray that grace may ev'rywhere abound; "Send the light! (Send the light!) Send the light!" (Send the light!) And a Christlike spirit ev'rywhere be found, "Send the light! (Send the light!) Send the light!" (Send the light!)

Let us not grow weary in the work of love, "Send the light! (Send the light!) Send the light!" (Send the light!) Let us gather jewels for a crown above, "Send the light! (Send the light!) Send the light!" (Send the light!)
Chorus
Send the light! (Send the light! the blessed gospel light;) the blessed gospel light; Let it shine (Let it shine) from shore to shore! (from shore to shore!) Send the light! (Send the light! the blessed gospel light;) the blessed gospel light; Let it shine (Let it shine) forever more. (forevermore.)
