|  | | 1. Hear the Lord of harvest
sweetly calling,
“Who will go and work
for Me today?
Who will bring to Me
the lost and dying?
Who will point them
to the narrow way?”
Refrain.
Speak, my Lord, speak, my Lord,
Speak, and I’ll be quick
to answer Thee;
Speak, my Lord, speak, my Lord,
Speak, and I will answer,
“Lord, send me.”
2. When the coal of fire
touched the prophet,
Making him as pure,
as pure can be,
When the voice of God said,
“Who’ll go for us?”
Then he answered,
“Here I am, send me.”
Refrain.
Speak, my Lord, speak, my Lord,
Speak, and I’ll be quick
to answer Thee;
Speak, my Lord, speak, my Lord,
Speak, and I will answer,
“Lord, send me.”
3. Millions now in sin
and shame are dying,
Listen to their sad and bitter cry;
Hasten, brother,
hasten to the rescue;
Quickly answer,
“Master, here am I.”
Refrain.
Speak, my Lord, speak, my Lord,
Speak, and I’ll be quick
to answer Thee;
Speak, my Lord, speak, my Lord,
Speak, and I will answer,
“Lord, send me.”
4. Soon the time for
reaping will be over;
Soon we’ll gather for
the harvest home;
May the Lord of harvest
smile upon us,
May we hear His blessèd,
“Child, well done.”
Refrain.
Speak, my Lord, speak, my Lord,
Speak, and I’ll be quick
to answer Thee;
Speak, my Lord, speak, my Lord,
Speak, and I will answer,
“Lord, send me.”
