359- Hark! the Voice of Jesus Calling

Christian Church: Mission of the Church

1

  • Hark! the voice of Jesus calling,
  • "Who will go and work today?
  • Fields are white, the harvest waiting,
  • Who will bear the sheaves away?"
  • Loud and long the Master calleth,
  • Rich reward He offers free;
  • Who will answer, gladly saying,
  • "Here am I, O Lord, send me"?

2

  • If you cannot cross the ocean
  • And the heathen lands explore,
  • You can find the heathen nearer,
  • You can help them at your door;
  • If you cannot speak like angels,
  • If you cannot preach like Paul,
  • You can tell the love of Jesus,
  • You can say He died for all.

3

  • If you cannot be the watchman,
  • Standing high on Zion's wall,
  • Pointing out the path to heaven,
  • Offering life and peace to all;
  • With your prayers and with your bounties
  • You can do what Heaven demands,
  • You can be like faithful Aaron,
  • Holding up the prophet's hands.

4

  • While the souls of men are dying,
  • And the Master calls for you,
  • Let none hear you idly saying,
  • "There is nothing I can do!"
  • Gladly take the task He gives you,
  • Let His work your pleasure be;
  • Answer quickly when He calleth,
  • "Here am I, O Lord, send me."
