Send sal­va­tion’s mes­sage to the lands afar,
Many there are watch­ing for the Morn­ing Star;
Lonely hearts are wait­ing for a friend di­vine,
Send the news of glad­ness where those souls re­pine.

Refrain

Message of sal­va­tion! Send it far and near!
Story of re­demp­tion, full of hope and cheer;
Send the wel­come tid­ings ov­er land and wave,
Jesus reigns in glo­ry—He alone can save.

Send sal­va­tion’s mes­sage o’er the ocean’s wave,
Tell the sad and sin­ful Christ has come to save;
They who grope in dark­ness need the guid­ing light;
May its rays ce­les­ti­al cheer their drea­ry night.

Refrain

Send sal­va­tion’s mes­sage to each dist­ant clime,
Blessèd are the tid­ings full of truth sub­lime;
Freedom for the sin­ner bound in ev­il’s chains,
King of earth and Hea­ven, Christ in glo­ry reigns.

Refrain

Send sal­va­tion’s mes­sage far across the sea,
Break the bonds asun­der, set the cap­tive free;
Lands that lie in sha­dows hail the morn­ing bright,
Nations long in dark­ness seek the Gos­pel light.
