Speed Away (EN 3328)

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.
