1 Send me forth, oh blessed Master!
Where in sorrow souls are bowed;
Send me forth to homes of want and hearts of care,
And with joy I will obey the call,
And in Thy blessèd name
I will take the blessèd light of the Gospel there.
Refrain:
Call me forth, call me forth,
To active service call me forth,
And my prompt response will be,
Here am I! Send me.
I am ready to report for orders;
Master, summon me,
And I’ll go on any errand of love for Thee.
2 There are lives that may be brightened
By a word of hope and cheer;
There are souls with whom life’s blessings I should share;
There are hearts that may be lightened of
The burdens which they bear;
Let me take the blessèd hope of the Gospel there. [Refrain]
3 There is work within the vineyard,
There is service to be done;
There’s a message of salvation to declare;
Send me forth to tell the story to
The hearts of sinful men;
Let me take the blessèd Christ of the Gospel there. [Refrain]
4 Oh, I would not be an idler
In the vineyard of the Lord;
With the Christ the vineyard labor I would share;
Into hearts that know not Jesus
I would speak the saving Word;
Let me take the blessèd joy of the Gospel there. [Refrain]
