<p>Hark, the voice of Jesus calling,<br>
&#8220;Who will go and work today?<br>
Fields are ripe and harvests waiting,<br>
Who will bear the sheaves away?&#8221;<br>
Long and loud the Master calls us,<br>
Rich reward He offers free;<br>
Who will answer, gladly saying,<br>
&#8220;Here am I, send me, send me&#8221;?</p>
<p>If you cannot cross the ocean,<br>
And the distant lands explore,<br>
You can find the lost around you,<br>
You can help them at your door;<br>
If you cannot give your thousands,<br>
You can give the widow&#8217;s mite;<br>
What you truly give for Jesus,<br>
Will be precious in His sight.</p>
<p>If you cannot speak like angels,<br>
If you cannot preach like Paul,<br>
You can tell the love of Jesus,<br>
You can say He died for all.<br>
If you cannot rouse the wicked,<br>
With the judgment&#8217;s dread alarms,<br>
You can lead the little children<br>
To the Savior&#8217;s waiting arms.</p>
<p>If you cannot be the watchman,<br>
Standing high on Zion&#8217;s wall,<br>
Pointing out the path to heaven,<br>
Offering life and peace to all,<br>
With your prayers and with your bounties<br>
You can do what heaven demands;<br>
You can be like faithful Aaron,<br>
Holding up the prophet&#8217;s hands.
<p>If among the older people,<br>
You may not be apt to teach,<br>
&#8220;Feed My lambs,&#8221; said Christ, our Shepherd,<br>
&#8220;Place the food within their reach.&#8221;<br>
And it may be that the children<br>
You have led with trembling hand,<br>
Will be found among your jewels,<br>
When you reach the better land.</p>
<p>Let none hear you idly saying,<br>
&#8220;There is nothing I can do.&#8221;<br>
While the lost of earth are dying,<br>
And the Master calls for you;<br>
Take the task He gives you gladly;<br>
Let His work your pleasure be;<br>
Answer quickly when He calls you,<br>
&#8220;Here am I, send me, send me.&#8221;</p>
