Author: J. E. Lewis Hymnal: Light and Life Songs #102 (1904) First Line: To the millions that are lying in darkness Lyrics: 1 To the millions that are lying in darkness, Heralds of light, speed away, To the souls that long to hear of the Savior, Carry the bright gospel ray. Chorus: Heralds of light, speed away; Carry the bright gospel ray, Dark the night of sin, Let the sunlight in, Heralds of light, speed away. 2 As you labor for the Lord He is with you, Walks by your side day by day; ‘Tis His will that you should tell of His mercy, Carry the bright gospel ray. [Chorus] 3 If he bids you speak the word to a brother, Say what He wants you to say; If He sends you o’er the vale or the mountain, Carry the bright gospel ray. [Chorus] 4 Tho’ He bids you go for Him o’er the ocean, You should but trust and obey; To the heathen who are dwelling in blindness, Carry the bright gospel ray. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [To the millions that are lying in darkness]
