Hungry for Jesus

By L. D. Santee

L. D. SANTEE
The world is hungry for Jesus; from many a far-off shore Come pleadings that stir the workers to efforts unreached before. They are calling for other workers, for the work half finished falls; We are near the close of the harvest, and the Master for reapers calls.
The world is hungry for Jesus, and nations are in the dark; They would fly to some place of safety, like the weary dove to the ark; They would hear of the “Friend of sinners,” and hearing, their hearts are stirred; ’Tis the “gospel of the kingdom,” and we must carry the word.
The world is hungry for Jesus. ’Tis the gospel to the lost. There are far-off lands to enter, there are oceans to be crossed: God’s dial points the hour, and the Judge stands at the door; His workers toil unceasing, with efforts unreached before.
The world is hungry for Jesus. They are calling for more and more, They are pleading and imploring on many a foreign shore, And workers are telling the heathen of the infinite love of God; They are taking the truth to the fallen; they are treading where Jesus trod.
The world is hungry for Jesus; but a rest that is long and sweet Is waiting the faithful toiler at the dear Redeemer’s feet; When the sheaves have all been gathered, and the toiler’s work is o’er, A peace that will ne’er be broken awaits on heaven’s shore.
Moline, Ill.
