His Worthy Praise ‎#12

12. So Send I You

1 Hear the call for reapers,
Ringing far and near,
Rouse, ye idle sleepers,
Harvest time is here;
Fields today are bending
With the ripened grain,
And the Lord for reapers
Calleth long in vain.

Refrain:
So send I you!
So send I you
For e’en as the Father hath sent me,
So send I you!
This is the Master’s commission,
Unto your trust be true!
“For e’en as the Father hath sent me,
So send I you.”

2 In the market places
Will ye longer stand,
While the golden harvest
Wastes on ev’ry hand?
Heed the Lord’s commission,
Go where’er he sends;
For the world’s salvation
Upon us depends. [Refrain]

3 In the steps of Jesus
Follow day by day,
Seeking for the lost ones
Out on life’s highway;
Blood-bought souls are dying,
Thrust the sickle in,
For the final harvest
Precious sheaves to win. [Refrain]
