Hark! The voice of Jesus crying
Who will go and work today?
Fields are white and harvests waiting
Who will bear the sheaves away?
Lord and long the Master calleth
Rich reward He offers free
Who will answer? Gladly saying
Here am I; send me, 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 give your thousands
You can give the widow’s mite
And the least you give for Jesus
Will be precious in His sight
3.
If you cannot be the watchman
Standing high on Zion’s wall
Pointing out the path to heaven
Off’ring life and peace to all
With your pray’rs and with your bounties
You can do what Heav’n demands
You can be like faithful Aaron
Holding up the prophet’s hand
4.
Let none hear you idly saying
There is nothing I can do
While the souls of men are dying
And the Master calls for you
Take the task He gives you gladly
Let His work your pleasure be
Answer quickly when He calleth
Here am I, send me, send me
Amen
