Hark! the Voice of Jesus Crying

Author: Daniel March Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 508 hymnals Scripture: Luke 10:2 Lyrics: 1 Hark! the voice of Jesus crying, "Who will go and work today? Fields are white, and harvests waiting; who will bear the sheaves away?" Loud and long the Master calleth, rich reward he offers free; who will answer, gladly saying, "Here am I; send me, send me." 2 If you cannot cross the ocean, and the heathen lands explore, you can find the heathen nearer, you can help them at your door. If you cannot give your thousands, you can give the widow's mite; and the least you give for Jesus will be precious in his sight. 3 If you cannot be a watchman, standing high on Zion's wall, pointing out the path to heaven, off'ring life and peace to all, with your pray'rs and with your bounties you can do what God demands; you can be like faithful Aaron, holding up the prophet's hands. 4 Let none hear you idly saying, "There is nothing I can do," while the sons of men are dying, and the Master calls for you: take the task he gives you gladly, let his work your pleasure be; answer quickly when he calleth, "Here am I; send me, send me."

Lord, You Give the Great Commission

Author: Jeffery W. Rowthorn Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 43 hymnals Scripture: Luke 10:9 Lyrics: 1 Lord, you give the great commission: "Heal the sick and preach the word." Lest the church neglect its mission, And the gospel go unheard, Help us witness to your purpose With renewed integrity; With the Spirit's gifts empower us For the work of ministry. 2 Lord, you call us to your service: "In my name baptize and teach." That the world may trust your promise, Life abundant meant for each, Give us all new fervor, draw us Closer in community; With the Spirit's gifts empower us For the work of ministry. 3 Lord, you make the common holy: "This my body, this my blood." Let us all, for earth's true glory, Daily lift life heavenward, Asking that the world around us Share your children's liberty; With the Spirit's gifts empower us For the work of ministry. 4 Lord, you show us love's true measure: "Father, what they do, forgive." Yet we hoard as private treasure All that you so freely give. May your care and mercy lead us To a just society: With the Spirit's gifts empower us For the work of ministry. 5 Lord, you bless with words assuring: "I am with you to the end." Faith and hope and love restoring, may we serve as you intend, and, amid the cares that claim us, hold in mind eternity: With the Spirit's gifts empower us For the work of ministry.

Author: Anon. Appears in 80 hymnals Scripture: Luke 10:2 Lyrics: 1 Saints of God, the dawn is bright'ning, Tokens of the coming Lord; O'er the earth the fields are whit'ning, Louder rings the Master's word: Pray for reapers, Pray for reapers, In the harvest of the Lord. Pray for reapers, Pray for reapers, In the harvest of the Lord. 2 Feebly now they toil in sadness, Weeping o'er the waste around, Slowly gath'ring grains of gladness, While their echoing cries re-sound: Pray for reapers, Pray for reapers, In God's harvest may abound. Pray that reapers, Pray that reapers, In God's harvest may abound. 3 Now, O Lord, fulfill thy pleasure, Breathe upon thy chosen band, And with pentecostal measure, Send forth reapers in our land; Faithful reapers, Faithful reapers, Gath'ring sheaves for thy right hand, Faithful reapers, Faith reapers, Gath'ring sheaves for thy right hand. 4 Soon shall end the time of weeping, Soon the reaping time will come, Heav'n and earth together keeping God's eternal harvest home; Saints and angels, Saints and angels, Shout the world's great harvest home. Saints and angels, Saints and angels, Shout the world's great harvest home. Topics: Bible Songs Missionary Songs Used With Tune: PRAY FOR REAPERS
