Bounteous shall God send the harvest, If thou sow'st with liberal band. 4 Give, then, freely of thy substance-- O'er this cause the Lord doth reign; Cast thy bread, and toil with patience, Thou shalt labor not in vain.

If you cannot give your thousands, You can give the widow's mite, And the least you give for Jesus, Will be precious in his sight. [Chorus] 3 Let none bear you idly saying, "There is nothing I can do, "While the souls of men are dying, And the Master calls for you. Take the task he gives you gladly, Let his words your pleasures be, Answer quickly when he calleth, "Here am I, send me, send me." [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Hark! the voice of Jesus, crying]
