So Send I You

Verse 1

So sent I you- by grace made strong to triumph

O'er hosts of hell, o'er darkness, death, and sin,

My name to bear, and in that name to conquer-

So send I you, My victory to win.

Verse 2

So send I you- to take to souls in bondage

The word of truth that sets the captive fee,

To break the bonds of sin, to loose dearth's fetters-

So send I you, to bring the lost to Me.

Verse 3

So send I you- My strength to know in weakness,

My joy in grief, my perfect peace in pain,

To prove My power, My grace, My promised presence-

So send I you, eternal fruit to gain.

Verse 4

So send I you- to bear My cross with patience,

And then one day with joy to lay it down,

To hear My voice, 'Well done, My faithful servant-

Come, share My throne, My kingdom, and My crown!'

'As the Father hath sent Me, so send I you.'
