Representative Text

1 Behold, the Master now is calling
For reapers brave and true;
The golden harvest fields are waiting,
But labourers are few.

Chorus:
Go forth, with patience, love and kindness;
And in the Master's name,
The blessed news of free salvation
To all the world proclaim.

2 Go forth, and rescue those that perish,
Where sin and darkness reign;
Go, lend a helping hand to save them,
And break the tempter's chain. [Chorus]

3 Go, bid the poor with joy and gladness
The feast of love to share;
And He the Bread of Life Eternal
Will make them welcome there. [Chorus]

4 Go forth, the summer days are waning,
Their light will soon be o'er;
The solemn hour is quickly coming,
When we can work no more. [Chorus]
