Speed away, speed away, on your mission of
light,
To the lands that are lying in darkness
and night;
’Tis the Master’s command; go ye forth in
His Name,
The wonderful Gospel of Jesus proclaim;
Take your lives in your hand, to the work
while ’tis day,
Speed away, speed away, speed away.
Speed away, speed away with the life
giving Word;
To the nations that know not the voice of
the Lord;
Take the wings of the morning and fly o’er
the wave,
In the strength of your Master the lost
ones to save;
He is calling once more, not at moment’s
delay,
Speed away, speed away, speed away.
Speed away, speed away with the message
of rest,
To the souls by the tempter in bondage
oppressed;
For the Savior has purchased their ransom
from sin,
And the banquet is ready, O gather them
in;
To the rescue make haste, there’s no time
for delay,
Speed away, speed away, speed away.
