The Hymnal and Order of Service ‎#369

369. Lord of the Harvest, Hear

1 Lord of the harvest, hear
Thy needy servants' cry;
O grant our trusting, fervent prayer,
And all our wants supply.

2 On Thee we humbly wait,
Our wants are in Thy view;
The harvest, Lord, is truly great,
The laborers are few.

3 Anoint and send forth more
Into Thy Church abroad,
And let them speak Thy Word of power,
As workers with their God.

4 O let them spread Thy Name,
Their mission fully prove;
Thy universal grace proclaim,
Thine all-redeeming love.

Amen.
