201. Helpers Are Needed

1 Many the ways that we ought to set right,
Many dark corners that wait for the light;
Many good actions that ought to be done;
Helpers are needed; will you be one?

Refrain:
Will you be one? will you be one?
To hasten the Kingdom of God’s dear Son;
Will you be one? will you be one?
Helpers are needed; will you be one?

2 Many the battles His soldiers must fight,
Strengthened and led by His Spirit of might;
Up and be doing! the hours swiftly run;
Helpers are needed; will you be one? [Refrain]

3 Many the hearts that are broken with grief;
Whose gentle kindness will bring them relief?
Till in the west sinks the bright setting sun;
Helpers are needed; will you be one? [Refrain]

4 Happy the service when tendered our King;
Happy our song when some jewel we bring;
Blessed the servant who hears His “well done;”
Helpers are needed; will you be one? [Refrain]
