His Fullness Songs ‎#128

128. Master, Use Me

1 Send me forth, O blessed Master!
where are souls in sorrow bow'd,
Send me forth to homes of want and homes of care.
And with joy I will obey the call, and in Thy blessed name
I will take the blessed light of the gospel there.

Refrain:
Call me forth to active service.
And my prompt response shall be,
"Here are I! send me;"
I am read 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 brighten'd 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 blessed 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 homes of sinful men;
Let me take the blessed 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 blessed joy of the gospel there. [Refrain]
