52. List to the Voice of Jesus

1 List the voice of Jesus calling,
Who will come and work today?
See, the fields are white and ready;
Come and bear the sheaves away.
Come, O come, and work for Jesus;
Who will lend a helping hand?
Gently lead the sinner, to a happy land.

Refrain:
O come the Saviour calls,
Wait not till ev’ning falls;
Gather from the ripen’d fields
What the harvest yields.
O come the Saviour calls,
Wait not till ev’ning falls;
Do the Master’s bidding now
And joy shall crown thy brow.

2 List the voice of Jesus calling,
There is work for many more;
If you cannot cross the ocean,
You can work before your door,
Give the Saviour all your talents,
Small and humble though they be,
He will bless them with a crown of victory. [Refrain]

3 List the voice of Jesus calling,
Is there nothing you can do?
See the many that are dying;
Haste! the Master calls for you.
Do not waste the useful moments,
Many sheaves are left for thee;
Do your best, ‘twill live thro’ all eternity. [Refrain]
