Let them our leaders be,
To guide us to thy holy hill,
where we shall worship thee;
Send out thy light o'er land and sea,
Till every heart shall bow to thee.
Refrain:
Send out thy light,
Thy light and truth, O Lord.
2 Send out thy light and truth, O Lord,
Where sin's dark shadows fall;
Arouse the soldiers of the cross
To heed the trumpet's call;
Send out thy truth where error reigns,
And cleanse away its crimson stains. [Refrain]
3 Send out thy light and truth, O Lord,
The tidings glad to spread,
Till by those sweet evangel-tones,
all nations shall be led;
Send out thy light, O Beauteous Star,
And beam upon the isles afar. [Refrain]
4 Send out thy light and truth, O Lord,
To speed that glorious day
When all the ransomed shall delight
Thy precepts to obey;
Send out thy truth, O Word divine,
Till every blood-bought soul is thine. [Refrain] Scripture: Psalm 43:3 Languages: English Tune Title: [Send out thy light and truth, O Lord]
