Fields are white and harvests waiting; Who will bear the sheaves away?" Loud and long the Master calleth; Rich reward He offers thee. Who will answer, gladly saying, "Here am I, send me, send me"? 2 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. If you cannot rouse the wicked With the Judgement's dread alarms, You can lead the little children To the Savior's waiting arms. 3 If you cannot be a watchman, Standing high on Zion's wall, Pointing out the path to heaven, Off'ring life and peace to all, With your prayers and with your off'rings You can do what God demands; You can be like faithful Aaron, Holding up the prophet's hands. 4 Let none hear you idly saying, "There is nothing I can do," While the multitudes are dying, And the Master calls for you. Take the task He gives you gladly; Let His work your pleasure be; Answer quickly when He calleth, "Here am I, send me, send me!" Used With Tune: GALILEAN
