Oh, send the Bible out to all,
Its blessing to each heart,
To hush the stormy passions here,
And peace, sweet peace impart.
Refrain
Oh, send it out! oh, send it out!
Across the distant sea,
Till hungry millions shall receive
Its truth, so full and free.
Oh, send the Bible out to all,
’Tis Christ’s divine command,
To preach the Gospel everywhere;
Then give with generous hand.
Refrain
Oh, send the Bible out to all—
The weary captive one,
Who suffers ’neath the tyrant’s power
May know the pardoning Son.
