CHORUS.
  

CHORUS.

Tell me, Christians, worn and weary,
Toiling on life's pathway dim,
Are you shedding light for Jesus,
Are you witnessing for him?
Hark! a voice from o'er the ocean,
From the distant isles and seas,
Hark! and you will hear the echo
Floating on each passing breeze.
Plaintively its tones are pealing,
As a soul bowed low in grief,
For the gospel's light revealing,
Send, oh send the sweet relief.
As a famished infant crying,
That its hunger may be fed,
Many souls in darkness dying,
Plead for life's eternal bread.
Will you be a valiant soldier,
With a purpose firm and true?
Holding high the blood-stained banner,
God the Master needeth you.
When the Master of the vineyard
Comes the laborers to repay,
Shall you be among the faithful,
Or the idlers by the way?
Though you may not be a captain,
Leading on a mighty band,
You can be an armor-bearer,
Following at God's command.

137

Though the conflict wildly rages,
Pressing hot to heaven's gate,
Whosoever here engages,
Him a just reward awaits.
You may not possess a palace,
You may wear no title grand,
You can aid in saving lost ones,
Lend a hand, a helping hand.
