| 1. Lord of the harvest, hear
Thy needy servants' cry;
Answer our faith's effectual prayer
And all our wants supply.
2. On Thee we humbly wait,
Our wants are in Thy view.
The harvest, truly, Lord, is great,
The laborers are few.
3. Anoint and send forth more
Into Thy Church abroad
And let them speak Thy Word of Power
As workers with their God.
4. Give the pure gospel word,
The word of general grace;
Thee let them preach, the common Lord,
The Saviour of our race.
5. Oh, let them spread Thy name,
Their mission fully prove,
Thy universal grace proclaim,
Thine all-redeeming love!
6. **alt verses
7. Convert and send forth more
Into Thy Church abroad
And let them speak Thy Word of Power
As workers with their God.
