There’s a call comes ringing
o’er the restless wave
Take the light, take the light.
There are souls to rescue,
there are souls to save
Take the light, take the light.
Take the light the blessed gospel light,
Let it shine, from shore to shore
Take the light the blessed gospel light,
Let it shine, for evermore.
We have heard the Macedonian call today,
Take the light, Take the light.
And a golden offering at the cross we lay
Take the light, take the light.
Take the light the blessed gospel light,
Let it shine, from shore to shore
Take the light the blessed gospel light,
Let it shine, for evermore.
Let us not grow weary in the work of love.
Take the light, take the light.
Let us gather jewels for a crown we lay
Take the light take the light.
Take the light the blessed gospel light,
Let it shine, from shore to shore
Take the light the blessed gospel light,
Let it shine, for evermore.
