The Call of the Christ

The call of the Christ rings out to­day

Who will make re­ply?

For la­bor

or serv­ice

or bat­tle fray

Or seek­ing the lost who have gone as­tray

O Mas­ter

I’m rea­dy to go or stay—

Here am I!

Here am I for serv­ice

what­so­e’er it be;

I am wait­ing orders

Mas­ter

now from Thee;

I have heard Thy sum­mons from dark Cal­va­ry

And I glad­ly an­swer

Mas­ter

here am I!

The call of the Christ rings sweet and clear

Who will make re­ply?

Thy call­ing

O Mas­ter

to­day I hear

And glad­ly will fol­low Thee

far or near;

With Thee as my lead­er

no harm I fear

Here am I!

The call of the Christ is now for you

Will you make re­ply?

I’m wait­ing

O Mas­ter

Thy will to do;

Count me on the side of the brave and true

I’ll fol­low Thee all of the bat­tle thro’

Here am I!
