See now the waves that bathe the shores,
Reflecting light the sun out­pours;
So in all lands be­neath the sun,
The reign of day is now be­gun.

Refrain

Send the light, Oh, send it on!
Till all lands take up the song;
See the suf­fer­ing where they fall;
Hear, oh, hear, their plead­ing call.

The lands long dark by Sa­tan’s night
Sadly await the com­ing light;
There mill­ions sink in dead­ly dread,
No pil­low sure for dy­ing head.

Refrain

Too long the light have we with­held,
Whose rays their night would have dis­pelled;
Speed on the day, the glo­ri­ous day,
Thro’ Christ, the Light, the Truth, the Way.
