359   Hark! the Voice of Jesus Calling




[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."
