1 Hark, hark to the message, sent down from above,
“Go, all ye that know Me,
Teach others My love,
Tell them that salvation waits, freely for all,
Go, be My disciples, answer My call.”

Refrain:
Answer the call, answer the call,
Jesus is sending this message to all,
Answer the call, answer the call,
Be His disciples, and answer His call.

2 Hear, hear what he tells us, His wishes obey,
“Child, this is thy mission,
Seek someone today;
Wherever you serve Me, my blessing shall fall,
Go, be My disciples, answer My call.” [Refrain]

3 Haste, haste on His errand, win souls for our King,
To places in darkness
His light let us bring,
Spread news of salvation, share freedom with all,
Go, be His disciples, answer the call. [Refrain]
