Is the hand of God up¤on you?
Have you heard the Mas¤ter’s call?
Will you ven¤ture forth and fol¤low,
Leav¤ing home, for¤sak¤ing all?
Pre¤cious souls in bond¤age groan¤ing,
Oh, how wea¤ri¤ly they sigh!
Come and help us, ere we per¤ish–
Hear the poor and need¤y cry.

He that saves His life will lose it;
Let His word im¤press your heart,
Search¤ing, sep¤a¤rat¤ing, cleans¤ing,
From your earth¤ly i¤dols part.
He will seal you as His cho¤sen,
Take you for His faith¤ful bride:
Lead you forth in¤to the har¤vest,
La¤bour with you side by side.

Lord, I yield, my all for¤sak¤ing,
I can save my life no more;
Thy great love my heart has con¤quered,
I am Thine for ev¤er¤more;
Thine to la¤bour for the lost ones,
Those who in the dark¤ness roam:
Sheep with¤out a shep¤herd, wan¤d’ring
Far from hope, they stray from home.

He has set His love up¤on me,
And I can¤not long¤er stay;
His com¤pas¤sion moves me on¤ward,
Out to seek for those a¤stray;
Faint¤ing by the way¤side, dy¤ing,
Bruised and bro¤ken heart¤ed lie;
In mine ears their cry is ring¤ing,
Can I long¤er pass them by?
