Hymn Study: Send the Light

October 22, 2017 By Annette1 4 Comments

Click here to go to my disclosure policy.

I’m so thrilled today that I was able to quickly find a hymn that went with today’s word prompt LIGHT.   The hymn is called “Send the Light”.   It was written by Charles H. Gabriel, who wrote it while a choir member at the Grace Methodist Episcopal Church in San Francisco, California.


Charles H Gabriel lived 1856-1932, he taught himself, while living on his Iowa farm, to play the family reed organ.  He began teaching others how to sing when he was 16, and became well known as a teacher, composer and singer.

He served as music director at Grace Methodist Episcopal church in California, but eventually move to Illinois, where he worked for a publishing company.  During his work, he edited some 43 song books, 7 men’s chorus books, 19 anthem collections, and 23 cantatas. He composed at least 50 hymns, and wrote music for almost 200 other hymns.

Lyrics for Send the Light

  1. There’s a call comes ringing o’er the restless wave,
    “Send the light! Send the light!”
    There are souls to rescue, there are souls to save,
    Send the light! Send the light! 
    • Refrain:
      Send the light, the blessed Gospel light;
      Let it shine from shore to shore!
      Send the light, and let its radiant beams
      Light the world forevermore!
    •  
  2. We have heard the Macedonian call today,
    “Send the light! Send the light!”
    And a golden off’ring at the cross we lay,
    Send the light! Send the light!
  3.  
  4. Let us pray that grace may everywhere abound,
    “Send the light! Send the light!”
    And a Christlike spirit everywhere be found,
    Send the light! Send the light!
  5.  
  6. Let us not grow weary in the work of love,
    “Send the light! Send the light!”
    Let us gather jewels for a crown above,
    Send the light! Send the light!
