These are the words:
There’s a call comes ringing over the restless wave,
“Send the light! Send the light!”
There are souls to rescue there are souls to save,
Send the light! Send the light!
Send the light, the blessèd Gospel light;
Let it shine from shore to shore!
Send the light, the blessèd Gospel light;
Let it shine forevermore!
We have heard the Macedonian call today,
“Send the light! Send the light!”
And a golden offering at the cross we lay,
Send the light! Send the light!
I first heard it when I played the organ at a protestant church. We never sang it in the Church I went to.
That one phrase always baffled me: what is "the Macedonian call"?
Any ideas?
Serious and smart-alecky answers always welcome....
