WILL YOU GO?

By Carrie Butcher

“Whom shall I send, and who will go for us.” Isa. 6:8.

THERE'S a message going forth; It must quickly gird the earth; There's a call for willing workers for the Lord; There are living truths to teach; Darkened lives that we may reach; Who will volunteer to carry them the Word?

No. 2. Viewing the Valley from the Mountain Railway.

Chorus.—

Lo, the bugle call is sounding, But the ranks are forming slow; Tell, O tell me, Brother, Sister! “Are you ready?” “Will you go?”

Let us labor with our might; Haste, O, haste! ere comes the night; Let us pray, and watch, and work, in sweet accord. There is room for one and all, Who will heed the ringing call? O, there's joy in willing service for the Lord!

From the highway, from the slum, From the haunts of sin they'll come, From the mansion and the palace hear the cry! Lives all marred by sin and strife, Starving for the “Bread of Life,” We may win them for the Master if we try.

Chorus.—

Who is ready, who is willing? Who will answer, “Here am I?” Haste, O, haste! while God is calling; Ere His Spirit pass you by.

'Tis not ours to mourn and weep, When some hero falls asleep; Drop a tear, then close the ranks, nor heed the pain.

They are falling one by one, Still with courage we press on! Christ is coming! and we'll greet them, soon, again. CARRIE BUTCHER. Red Oak, Texas.
