The Voice Of God Is Calling
Its Summons In Our Day;
Isaiah Heard In Zion,
And We Now Hear God Say:
“Whom Shall I Send To Succor
My People In Their Need?
Whom Shall I Send To Loosen
The Bonds Of Shame And Greed?
“I Hear My People Crying
In Slum And Mine And Mill;
No Field Or Mart Is Silent,
No City Street Is Still.
I See My People Falling
In Darkness And Despair.
Whom Shall I Send To Shatter
The Fetters Which They Bear?”
We Heed, O Lord, Your Summons,
And Answer: Here Are We!
Send Us Upon Your Errand,
Let Us Your Servants Be.
Our Strength Is Dust And Ashes,
Our Years A Passing Hour;
But You Can Use Our Weakness
To Magnify Your Power.
From Ease And Plenty Save Us;
From Pride Of Place Absolve;
Purge Us Of Low Desire;
Lift Us To High Resolve;
Take Us, And Make Us Holy;
Teach Us Your Will And Way.
Speak, And Behold! We Answer;
Command, And We Obey!
