To The Millions Living O'er The Deep

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.
