112. Call for Workers

1 Hear the invitation sweeping o’er the land,
Come and work for Jesus in thy youth;
Walk in wisdom’s pathway, open is the gate,
All may enter in who keep the truth.

Refrain:
Hark! the chorus swelling loud and long,
“On to vit’ry at the King’s command!”
‘Tis the Church of Jesus, with a mighty voice
Calling to the youth of ev’ry land.

2 Come in youth’s bright morning ere the shadows fall,
See the Saviour waiting now for thee;
Trust His loving kindness, hear His gentle voice,
“Whosoever will may come to me.” [Refrain]

3 Serve the Lord with gladness, in His love rejoice;
Blest are they who do His holy will;
He will give thee power, He will give thee strength,
And His blessed promises fulfill. [Refrain]
