Fletcher Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Who shall I send, the Saviour is saying Refrain First Line: Who shall I send Lyrics: 1 Who shall I send, the Saviour is saying, Forth to the fields of waving grain? Who will today, the summons obeying, Gather the sheaves that strew the plain? Refrain: Who shall I send? Forth to the fields of harvest white? Who shall I send? the Saviour is saying; Who in His service will take delight? 2 Look to the fields, the harvest is whit’ning, Quickly the Master’s call obey; Early to toil, the skies are now bright’ning, Gather the golden sheaves today. [Refrain] 3 Forth to the world in wickedness lying, Sounding the message strong and clear; Plead with the souls the gospel defying, Waking the lost to hope and cheer.
