They Are Calling Us

By L. D. Santee

By L. D. SANTEE

THERE'S a summons from the Master, for the fields of earth are ripe. On every side, they're pleading more and more. Lead the heathen in his blindness out of darkness into light. Tell the world of heaven's bright, immortal shore.

O, the heathen world is waiting for salvation's joyful sound, And heaven's invitation reaches men. Soon will this glorious gospel spread to earth's remotest bound, And the Saviour then is coming back again.

All the world must hear the tidings of the kingdom soon to come, And the far-off lands, and islands of the sea, And the faithful heralds of the cross leave all the joys of home, To tell men of Christ and immortality.

’Tis the “gospel of the kingdom,” that can set the sinner free. God commands us, “Take the light to fallen men.”

O, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! He's calling now for thee, For the Saviour soon is coming back again.
