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