"Send the Light" is a hymn written in 1890 by American composer Charles H. Gabriel.

Gabriel wrote the hymn when he was serving as the Music Director of Grace Methodist Episcopal Church in San Francisco, California, when he was asked by the Sunday School Superintendent of the church to write a missionary hymn for Easter church service.

The hymn was first sung a month before Easter on March 6, 1890.

It is believed to be based on Acts 16, where Paul has a vision of a Macedonian man, who said, "Come over into Macedonia, and help us."

After Gabriel wrote the hymn, a Field Secretary of missions took the song from California to Ohio, where Charles Cardwell McCabe popularized the song.
