Lord, Send Me

Author: M W. Spencer Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11846 First Line: There is much to do, there’s work on every hand Refrain First Line: Here am I; Lord, send me Lyrics: 1 There is much to do, there’s work on every hand; Hark! the cry for help comes ringing thro’ the land; Jesus calls for reapers, I must active be; What wilt Thou, O Master? Here am I, send me. Refrain: Here am I; Lord, send me; Here am I, ready at Thy bidding, Lord send me! 2 There's the plaintive cry of mourning souls distressed, And the sigh of hearts who seek but find no rest; These should have my love and tender sympathy; Ready at Thy bidding, here am I, send me. [Refrain] 3 There are hungering souls who cry aloud for bread; With the Bread of Life they’re longing to be fed; Shall they starve and famish while a feast is free? I must be more faithful; here am I, send me. [Refrain] 4 There are souls who linger on the brink of woe; Lord, I must not, cannot bear to let them go; Let me go and tell them, brother, turn and flee; Master, I would save them; here am I, send me. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [There is much to do, there’s work on every hand]
