Master, Use Me

E. A. Hoffman • English

Primary Scripture: Isaiah 6:8

Verse 1

Send me forth, O blessed Master! where are souls in sorrow bow'd, Send me forth to homes of want and homes of care. And with joy I will obey the call, and in Thy blessed name I will take the blessed light of the gospel there.

Chorus

Call me forth to active service. And my prompt response shall be, "Here are I! send me;" I am read to report for orders, Master, summon me, And I'll go on any errand of love for Thee.

Verse 2

There are lives that may be brighten'd by a word of hope and cheer, There are souls with whom life's blessings I should share; There are hearts that may be lightened of the burdens which they bear; Let me take the blessed hope of the gospel there.

Chorus

Call me forth to active service. And my prompt response shall be, "Here are I! send me;" I am read to report for orders, Master, summon me, And I'll go on any errand of love for Thee.

Verse 3

There is work within the vineyard, there is service to be done, There's a message of salvation to declare; Send me forth to tell the story to the homes of sinful men; Let me take the blessed Christ of the gospel there.

Chorus

Call me forth to active service. And my prompt response shall be, "Here are I! send me;" I am read to report for orders, Master, summon me, And I'll go on any errand of love for Thee.

Verse 4

Oh, I would not be an idler in the vineyard of the Lord; With the Christ the vineyard-labor I would share; Into hearts that know not Jesus I would speak the saving word; Let me take the blessed joy of the gospel there.

Chorus

Call me forth to active service. And my prompt response shall be, "Here are I! send me;" I am read to report for orders, Master, summon me, And I'll go on any errand of love for Thee.
