Speed the Light (Hoffman)

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.

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.

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.

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.
