359 – Hark! the Voice of Jesus Calling

1
Hark! the voice of Jesus calling,
“Who will go and work today?
Fields are white, the harvest 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, O Lord, 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 speak like angels,
If you cannot preach like Paul,
You can tell the love of Jesus,
You can say He died for all.

3
If you cannot be the watchman,
Standing high on Zion’s wall,
Pointing out the path to heaven,
Offering life and peace to all;
With your prayers and with your bounties
You can do what Heaven demands,
You can be like faithful Aaron,
Holding up the prophet’s hands.

4
While the souls of men are dying,
And the Master calls for you,
Let none hear you idly saying,
“There is nothing I can do!”
Gladly take the task He gives you,
Let His work your pleasure be;
Answer quickly when He calleth,
“Here am I, O Lord, send me.”

There so many unentered areas in the world where the Lord wants to send you and today, and he longs for such an amazing answer: “Here am I, O Lord send me”

If you cannot go, support the Missionary work into unentered areas, where the present truth has never been heard.

We are in one of such areas in the villages of Serenje in central province of Zambia.

Great commission, “While the souls of men are dying,
And the Master calls for you,
Let none hear you idly saying,
“There is nothing I can do!”
Gladly take the task He gives you,
Let His work your pleasure be;
Answer quickly when He calleth,
“Here am I, O Lord, send me.”

You can be like faithful Aaron,
Holding up the prophet’s hands – if we cannot speak we can set up publishing houses through out the world for this work shall be completed by that other angel who comes down from heaven to lighten the world with his glory – Testimonies vol 7: 140

Am one of the lay preachers, in South Zambia Conference, currently conducting a Publishing week of prayer at Dambwa Main SDA Church in Livingstone South Mission District. This is song revives me for mission. I fell in love with it in 1991 as a small boy. It puts me on fire where mission is concerned. Am glad it`s our theme song this whole week.
