Hark! the voice of Jesus calling

1

Hark! the voice of Jesus calling,—"Who will go and work to-day?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 oceanAnd 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 bountiesYou 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."
