Lord of the harvest! hear

Thy needy servants’ cry;

Answer our faith’s effectual prayer,

And all our wants supply.

On thee we humbly wait;

Our wants are in thy view;

The harvest truly, Lord! is great,

The laborers are few.

2 Convert and send forth more

Into thy Church abroad;

And let them speak thy word of power,

As workers with their God.

Give the pure gospel-word,

The word of general grace;

Thee let them preach, the common Lord,

The Saviour of our race.

3 O, let them spread thy name;

Their mission fully prove;

Thy universal grace proclaim,

Thy all-redeeming love.

On all mankind, forgiven,

Empower them still to call,

And tell each creature under heaven,

That thou hast died for all.
