Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Hymnal: Christian Worship #907 (2021) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: "How shall they hear," who have not heard Lyrics: 1 “How shall they hear,” who have not heard
news of a Lord who loved and came,
nor known his reconciling word,
nor learned to trust a Savior’s name?
2 “To all the world,” to ev’ry place,
neighbors and friends and far-off lands,
preach the good news of saving grace;
go while the great commission stands.
3 “Whom shall I send?” Who hears the call,
constant in prayer, through toil and pain,
telling of One who died for all,
to bring a lost world home again?
4 “Lord, here am I:” your fire impart
to this poor, cold, self-centered soul;
touch but my lips, my hands, my heart,
and make a world for Christ my goal.
5 Spirit of love, within us move:
Spirit of truth, in pow’r come down!
So shall they hear and find and prove
Christ is their life, their joy, their crown. Topics: Missions Scripture: Romans 10:14-15 Languages: English Tune Title: ANGELUS
