Who Will Go?

Composer: Jesse Barney, 1913

Hark! I hear a sound from o’er the wa­ter

’Tis the cry of ang­uish and des­pair;

’Tis the cry of pre­cious souls in dark­ness

While wait­ing for the light of Je­sus

there;

Hear the idle la­bor­ers near us say­ing

Master

what wilt Thou have me to do?

The har­vest now is great

oh! haste

my bro­ther

The reap­ers few.

Who will go? Who will go?

To the ends of the earth

Hast thou a pass­ion for the lost?

Dost thou real­ize what a soul is worth?

Who will go? Who will go?

Tell of Je­sus’ death up­on the tree?

Oh! who will an­swer quick­ly

Here am I

O Lord

send me?

Will you go and tell them of a Sav­ior?

Tell them how He suf­fered on the tree?

Will you give your ve­ry life to save them?

And tell them Je­sus came to set them free?

Will you take the way

en­dure the suf­fer­ing?

Finding in the cross your on­ly rest?

For suf­fer­ing here with Je­sus brings the glo­ry

His ways are best.

We will fol­low

we will fol­low Je­sus

Willingly and glad­ly we’ll ob­ey

He will nev­er leave us nor for­sake us

He is our friend

our com­fort­er and stay.

Though He lead us o’er the bri­ny ocean

Though He lead us o’er the san­dy plain

We still will trust in Je­sus Christ our Sav­ior

Oh! praise His name.

After we’ve re­ceived the Spir­it’s full­ness

Filling all our hearts with love di­vine

We’re to wit­ness to the bless­èd Gos­pel

In ev­ery na­tion

coun­try

land and clime

When we give the Gos­pel as a wit­ness

Unto ev­ery peo­ple far and near

With light­ning flash

we’ll see in clouds of glo­ry

The King ap­pear.
