  C                      F9                           C         G
The workers are few, the harvest is plentiful

Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore

To send out workers into the field.

We asked the Lord of the harvest and now

He’s calling you to serve.

Preach ye the Word, preach it well, preach it here and everywhere

For there are people dying, yearning for the Word.

The Word endures forever.                     Refrain

Whatever may come be it trials or temptations,

For what’s it worth to endure through suffering
Dm                         G
If it gains a soul for heaven?

Immanuel, God with us.
