See the hea­then o’er the sea,
To their id­ols bend­ing low;
Thither with its pow­er di­vine,
Let the bless­èd Gos­pel go!

Refrain

Speed it on, speed it on;
Let sal­va­tion’s morn­ing dawn!
Speed the bless­èd Gos­pel on,
Till the dark­ness is all gone.

They have ne­ver, ne­ver heard
Of that bet­ter home above;
Let them hear the sto­ry told,
Of the Sav­ior’s dy­ing love!

Refrain

As we hear it, o’er and o’er,
How our hearts with glad­ness swell!
Speed it to the far­thest shore
Where the wretch­ed hea­then dwell!

Refrain

Give a lit­tle, ev­ery one;
Freely give where much is thine;
’Mid the gloom of sor­row’s night,
Let the bless­èd Gos­pel shine!

Refrain
