Speed the Light (Bradley)

There’s a land be­yond the sea

Where the fields are white and fair;

Hear the cry

oh

souls re­deemed—

From the lost ones ov­er there.

Speed the light

or else we die;

Souls re­deemed

oh

speed the light.

Heed

oh heed

our ang­uished cry—

Speed the light

oh

speed the light.

Hear our cry

for soon for us

Day will sink in end­less night;

Give us help ere ’tis too late—

Speed the light

oh speed the light.

Still they cry! Give heed

oh soul

Jesus died that they might live;

Dare ye turn a deaf­ened ear?

Dare re­fuse the light to give?

Know

my soul

’tis not enough

That you sing and soft­ly pray;

Speed the light

oh

speed the light!

Jesus calls—do not de­lay.
