Triumphant Songs No.2 ‎#42

42. The Roll Call

1 When the roll is called, brother, answer to your name,
In the work of love there is need for thee
With a ready hand and a willing heart exclaim,
“Here am I, O Lord, here am I, send me!”

Refrain:
Here am I, O Lord, send me!
Here am I! answer at the roll call, here am I!

2 If you cannot go to the mission fields apart,
You can send the news of a Savior’s love!
Tho’ the gift be small, give it with a willing heart,
So that great will be your reward above. [Refrain]

3 When the roll is called over yonder by and by,
All your deeds of mercy will there be known,
So get ready now with the answer, “here am I,”
That shall there be heard round the great white throne. [Refrain]
