17078. Jesus Calls for Workers

1. The noon­day sun is shin­ing,
All ov­er land and sea;
The call for will­ing work­ers
Comes forth to you and me;
O will you go, my bro­ther,
Before the light grows dim?
God calls you, too, my sis­ter,
To lead some soul to Him.

Refrain

He’s call­ing you, He’s call­ing you
Into the fields of sin;
Make no de­lay, but go to­day,
And bring the lost ones in.

2. You’ve oft­en prayed the Fa­ther
To op­en wide the door;
To thee ’tis now thrown op­en;
O haste, ere time’s no more,
For some­one who is yearn­ing,
A bet­ter life to live;
Go tell them Je­sus loves them,
For them His life did give.

Refrain

3. The call for will­ing work­ers
Is ring­ing all around,
At home and o’er the ocean,
Wherever man is found;
How strange that we should idle,
Make life a use­less dream,
When souls of men are dy­ing,
For Jesus’ love su­preme.

Refrain
