SEND ME FORTH

Send me forth, oh, blessed Master,

Where are souls in sorrow bowed;

Send me forth to homes of want and

Homes of care;

And with joy I will obey the call,

And in Thy blessed name

I will take the blessed light of the

Gospel there.

Call me forth...to active service,

And my prompt response shall be,

‘Here am I! send me.’

I am ready to report for orders,

Master, summon me,

And I'll go on any errand of love for Thee.

There are lives that may be brightened

By a word of hope and cheer,

There are souls with whom life's

Blessings I should share,

There are hearts that may be lightened

Of the burdens which they bear;

Let me take the blessed hope of the

Gospel there.

There is work within the vineyard,

There is service to be done,

There's a message of salvation to declare;

Send me forth to tell the story to the hearts of sinful men;

Let me take the blessed Christ of the

Gospel there.

Oh, I would not be an idler in the vineyard of the Lord;

With the Christ the vineyard labour I would share;

Into hearts that know not Jesus I would speak the saving word;

Let me take the blessed joy of the gospel there
