Go Onward

Go onward to the harvest, you servants of the Lord;
shine light into the darkness, proclaim His holy word!
The fields are full for reaping, so many helpless there;
go onward by His leading to show your Savior's care.

Go onward to the broken and shrink not from the word;
speak all that God has spoken, till all His counsel's heard;
then see the broken mended; the sword that pierces hearts
goes onward as intended and all His grace imparts.

Here am I, Lord, send me. Here am I, Lord, send me.

"Go onward," we who send you would say to you in faith,
and pray that Christ defend you before the throne of grace.
If this be our last meeting until that glorious day,
"Go on," our cries repeating, "Go onward," we will pray.

Here am I, Lord, send me. Here am I, Lord, send me.

Go on till gates of glory, you servants of the Lord,
to tell the gospel story till all the world has heard;
and then in starless heavens, your Lord Himself will say,
"Go onward to your harvest, go onward to your harvest;
go onward to your harvest; your crowns await this day."

So here am I, Lord, send me.
