Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #582 (1989) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Sacraments and Rites of the Church Ordination; The Sacraments and Rites of the Church Ordination First Line: Whom shall I send? our Maker cries Lyrics: 1 Whom shall I send? our Maker cries;
and many, when they hear God's voice,
are sure where their vocation lies;
but many shrink from such a choice.
2 For who can serve a God so pure,
or claim to speak in such a name,
while doubt makes every step unsure,
and self confuses every aim?
3 And yet, believing God who calls
knows what we are and still may be,
our past defeats, our future falls,
we dare to answer: Lord, send me!
4 Those who are called God purifies,
and daily gives us strength to bend
our thoughts, our skills, our energies,
and life itself to this one end. Scripture: Isaiah 6:8 Languages: English Tune Title: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM
