Verse 1
Lord of the harvest, hear
Thy needy servants’ cry;
Answer our faith’s effectual prayer,
And all our wants supply.
Verse 2
On Thee we humbly wait;
Our wants are in Thy view;
The harvest truly, Lord, is great,
The laborers are few.
Verse 3
Convert and send forth more
Into Thy Church abroad,
And let them speak Thy word of power,
As workers with their God.
Verse 4
Give the pure gospel word,
The word of general grace;
Thee let them preach, the common Lord,
Saviour of human race.
Verse 5
O let them spread Thy Name,
Their mission fully prove;
Thy universal grace proclaim,
Thine all-redeeming love.
Verse 6
On all mankind, forgiven,
Empower them still to call,
And tell each creature under heaven
That Thou hast died for all.

Verse 1
“Go, preach My gospel,” saith the Lord;
“Bid the whole earth My grace receive;
He shall be saved that trusts My word;
He shall be lost that won’t believe.
Verse 2
“I’ll make your great commission known,
And ye shall prove My gospel true,
By all the works that I have done,
By all the wonders ye shall do.
Verse 3
“Teach all the nations My commands;
I’m with you till the world shall end;
All power is trusted in My hands,
I can destroy, and I defend.”
Verse 4
He spake, and light shone round His head;
On a bright cloud to heaven He rode;
They to the farthest nations spread
The grace of their ascended God.

Verse 1
How beauteous are their feet
Who stand on Zion’s hill,
Who bring salvation on their tongues,
And words of peace reveal!
Verse 2
How charming is their voice!
How sweet the tidings are!
”Zion, behold thy Saviour King;
He reigns and triumphs here.”
Verse 3
How happy are our ears
That hear this joyful sound,
Which kings and prophets waited for,
And sought, but never found!
Verse 4
How blessed are our eyes
That see this heavenly light!
Prophets and kings desired it long,
But died without the sight.
Verse 5
The watchmen join their voice,
And tuneful notes employ;
Jerusalem breaks forth in songs,
And deserts learn the joy.
Verse 6
The Lord makes bare His arm
Through all the earth abroad;
Let every nation now behold
Their Saviour and their God.

Charles Wesley·Post-Reformation
Verse 1
A charge to keep I have,
A God to glorify;
A never-dying-soul to save,
And fit it for the sky:—
Verse 2
To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfill,—
Oh! may it all my powers engage—
To do my Master’s will.
Verse 3
Arm me with jealous care,
As in thy sight to live;
And, oh, thy servant, Lord! prepare
A strict account to give.
Verse 4
Help me to watch and pray,
And on thyself rely;
Assured, if I my trust betray,
I shall forever die.
