1 See the heathen nations, bending
Down to idols made by hands;
Christians, shall we fail in sending
Gospel light to other lands?

Refrain:
Lo! the field, go preach salvation,
Broadcast scatter golden grain.
God, the strength of every nation,
Sure will send the gracious rain.

2 See the wickedness surrounding,
Even at your very door;
Men are found in sin abounding,
Blessed by God with bounteous store. [Refrain]

3 Shall we see the heathen near us,
Or the more benighted die,
While we’ve time to work for Jesus?
If not, Christian, tell me why? [Refrain]

4 We should always love to labor,
There’s no time to idly stand,
If we wish His gracious favor,
When we reach the glory land. [Refrain]
