Lyrics

Hast Thou, O Lord, a work to do?
Here am I, send me!
The field is white, the la­b’rers few,
Here am I, send me!

Refrain

Over mount­ain, plain or sea,
Here am I, send me!
I’ll go to the ends of the earth for Thee,
Here am I, send me!

O touch my lips with fire di­vine,
Here am I, send me!
The dross con­sume, the gold re­fine,
Here am I, send me!

Refrain

A low­ly ves­sel at Thy feet,
Here am I, send me!
O cleanse and for Thy use make meet,
Here am I, send me!

Refrain

My heart now longs and yearns to go,
Here am I, send me!
To reap Thy har­vest here be­low,
Here am I, send me!
