The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He would send forth laborers into His harvest.
Luke 10:2

Souls are dying now, lost in sin and woe,
And the laborers still are few;
Into all the world Jesus bids us go,
There is work for me to do.
Refrain
I must bring the wanderers in,
Savior, strengthen me anew,
I must bring the wanderers in,
There is work for me to do.
While the bonds of sin shall unbroken be,
And each pitfall far from view,
And while aching hearts should be glad and free,
There is work for me to do.
Refrain
With the love of God in my heart today,
I will give His message true;
Point the lost of earth to the living way,
There is work for me to do.
Refrain
