116. Send the Gospel

1 Send out the truth, send out the light;
Bless our King, gladly sing,
Honor, pow’r and might;
Over the seas, let the tidings ring,
Tell all the world of Christ our King.

Refrain:
Send the gospel, precious gospel,
Till the world with praises ring;
With Christ are given, Blessings from heaven,
Spread His fame, exalt His name,
Send out His truth and light, crown our King!

2 Send out the truth, send out the light;
Far and near, spread good cheer,
Chase away the night;
Reaping the grain, gospel sowers sing,
Tell all the world of Christ our King. [Refrain]

3 Send out the truth, send out the light;
Show the Star, Morning Star,
Gleaming fair and bright;
Wake, church if God, souls to Jesus bring,
Tell all the world of Christ our King. [Refrain]
