22289. SPEED AWAY
Lyrics & Stanzas
3 portions
Verse 1
Speed away, speed away on your mission of light, To the lands that are lying in darkness and night; 'Tis the Master's command; go ye forth in His name, The wonderful Gospel of Jesus proclaim;Take your lives in your hand, to the work while 'tis day. Speed away, speed away, speed away.
Verse 2
Speed away, speed away with the life-giving Word, To the nations that know not the voice of the Lord; Take the wings of the morning and fly o'er the wave, In the strength of your Master the lost ones to save; He is calling once more, not a moment's delay, Speed away, speed away, speed away.
Verse 3
Speed away, speed away with the message of rest, To the souls by the tempter in bondage oppressed; For the Savior has purchased their ransom from sin, And the banquet is ready, O gather them in; To the rescue make haste, there's no time for delay, Speed away, speed away, speed away.
