<p>The voice of God is calling its summons in our day;<br>
Isaiah heard in Zion and we now hear God say:<br>
&#8220;Whom shall I send to succor my people in their need?<br>
Whom shall I send to loosen the bonds of shame and greed?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I hear My people crying in slum and mine and mill;<br>
No field or mart is silent, no city street is still.<br>
I see My people falling in darkness and despair.<br>
Whom shall I send to shatter the fetters which they bear?&#8221;</p>
<p>We heed, O Lord, Your summons, and answer: Here are we!<br>
Send us upon Your errand, let us Your servants be.<br>
Our strength is dust and ashes, our years a passing hour;<br>
But You can use our weakness to magnify Your power.</p>
<p>From ease and plenty save us; from pride of place absolve;<br>
Purge us of low desire; lift us to high resolve;<br>
Take us, and make us holy; teach us Your will and way.<br>
Speak, and behold! We answer; command, and we obey!</p>
