The New Wonderful Songs for Work and Worship ‎#91

91. Lord, Send Me

1 There is much to do, there's work on ev'ry 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.

Chorus:
Here am I,
Lord, send me,
Here am I,
Ready at Thy bidding, Lord, send me.

2 There's a 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. [Chorus]

3 There are hung'ring 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. [Chorus]

4 There are souls who linger on the brink of woe,
Lord, I must not, can not 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. [Chorus]
