GRH 576 Send Me, O Lord, Send Me

(1)
O God of might, O Son of light,
O Holy Spirit sweet,
Thy church expand till all shall stand
At Jesus’ pierced feet.
Let all who once Thy Son disowned
Rejoice to see Him now enthroned;
Yet while one straying soul there be,
Send me, O Lord, send me.

(2)
With holy fire my heart inspire
Thy Spirit’s sword to wield;
With borrowed might I’ll take Thy light,
Till darkness’ doom be sealed.
If others stop to count the cost,
For fear of earthly treasures lost,
I’ll count it gain to die for Thee;
Send me, O Lord, send me.

(3)
O That in me my Lord may see
A bearer of the name;
That men may see His love so free,
From age to age the same.
Be this my everlasting song,
He took upon Himself my wrong,
And cried while facing Calvary,
‘Send me, O Lord, send me.’
