The call of the Christ rings out today,
Who will make reply?
For labor, or service, or battle fray,
Or seeking the lost
who have gone astray,
O Master, I’m ready to go or stay—
Here am I!
Here am I for service,
whatsoe’er it be;
I am waiting orders, Master,
now from Thee;
I have heard Thy summons
from dark Calvary,
And I gladly answer,
“Master, here am I!”
The call of the Christ
rings sweet and clear,
Who will make reply?
Thy calling, O Master, today I hear,
And gladly will follow Thee, far or near;
With Thee as my Leader,
no harm I fear,
Here am I!
Here am I for service,
whatsoe’er it be;
I am waiting orders, Master,
now from Thee;
I have heard Thy summons
from dark Calvary,
And I gladly answer,
“Master, here am I!”
The call of the Christ is now for you,
Will you make reply?
I’m waiting, O Master, Thy will to do;
Count me on the side
of the brave and true,
I’ll follow Thee all of the battle thro’,
Here am I!
Here am I for service,
whatsoe’er it be;
I am waiting orders, Master,
now from Thee;
I have heard Thy summons
from dark Calvary,
And I gladly answer,
“Master, here am I!”
