God’s Words to Thee Are Spoken

lyricist: Ernest Wesley, 1911
Composer: John Gower

God’s words to thee are spok­en:

Go forth

the fields to reap;

His pro­mise is His to­ken

That He thy soul will keep.

Heed not what voice may call thee

Turn not one hour aside;

Though world and flesh en­tice thee

Do thou in Christ con­fide.

He calls; why shouldst thou lin­ger?

The har­vest fields are white;

Should doubt or dan­ger hin­der

Walk thou in God’s own light.

Go where and when He sends thee;

His will seek thou to know;

Thy God will ev­er lead thee

And ev­ery step will show.

To all who go

obey­ing

Rich pro­mis­es He gives;

All need­ed strength con­vey­ing

From Him who ev­er lives.

Thy way is straight be­fore thee;

The gates are all un­barred;

While migh­ty love im­pels thee

No path­way will be hard.

Go where the lost are dy­ing

Because of guilt and sin;

Go

on love’s pin­ions fly­ing

For Christ the world to win.

His grace will e’er sus­tain thee

His strength shall thee en­shrine;

No foe shall e’er o’er­whelm thee

While Christ the Lord is thine.
