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 a 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 Saviour has purchased their ransom from sin,

And the banquet is ready. O gather them in;
