So Send I You

So send 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.

So send I you - to take to souls in
bondage The Word of Truth that sets
the captives free, To break the bonds
of sin, to loose death's fetters -
So send I you, to bring the lost to Me.

So send I you - My strength to know
in weakness, My joy in grief,
My perfect peace in pain.
To prove My pow'r, My grace,
My promised presence -
So send I you, eternal fruit to gain.

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!"
