Lord of the Harvest, Hear

lyricist: Charles Wesley, 1742
Composer: Samuel Howard, 1762

Lord of the har­vest

hear

Thy needy serv­ants’ cry;

Answer our faith’s ef­fect­ual pray­er

And all our needs sup­ply.

On Thee we hum­bly wait;

Our wants are in Thy view

The har­vest tru­ly

Lord

is great;

The la­bor­ers are few.

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

Savior of hu­man race.

O let them spread Thy name

Their miss­ion ful­ly prove

Thy uni­vers­al grace pro­claim

Thine all red­eem­ing love!

On all man­kind

for­giv­en

Empower them still to call

And tell each crea­ture un­der Heav­en

That Thou hast died for all.
