Jesus Calls for Faithful Laborers

Representative Text

1 Jesus calls for faithful lab’rers,
Earnest workers in His field,
For the grain in white to harvest,
And abundant is the yield.

Refrain:
Jesus calls for faithful workers,
Consecrated, bold and true;
Oh, my brother, standing idle,
Know you not He calls for you?

2 Souls are perishing around you
For the help that you might give;
Go my brother, seek the lost ones,
Bid them come to Christ and live. [Refrain]

3 Hearts are aching ‘neath the burdens
That the dear Christ-love would lift,
If some worker in the vineyard
Would but bear God’s precious gift. [Refrain]

4 Jesus calls for faithful lab’rers,
Who will answer “Here am I!”
Who will gather precious jewels
For the crowning by and by? [Refrain]
