1 Are you sitting idle, while there's work to do?
In the Master's vineyard there's a place for you;
Be a faithful servant, ever ready stand,
Where the Master calls you, lend a helping hand.

Chorus:
Lend a hand, lend a hand, lend a helping hand;
Precious ones are falling,
Lend a helping hand.
Lend a hand, lend a hand, lend a helping hand;
Jesus still is calling,
Lend a helping hand.

2 Is your voice now silent? there are songs to sing,
Help to swell the chorus make his praises ring;
Till the strains are wafted over all the land,
Reaching up to heaven, lend a helping hand. [Chorus]

3 Do your prayers no longer reach the throne of grace,
That some fallen brother might his steps retrace?
Every prayer will help him from the sinking sand,
Yours today may save him, lend a helping hand. [Chorus]

4 Has your heart ceased yearning precious souls to win?
Just a word from you might rescue one from sin;
Work with all the strength you have at your command,
Jesus will reward you, lend a helping hand. [Chorus]
