SO SEND I YOU

1.   So send I you to labour unrewarded, To serve unpaid, unloved, unsought, unknown, To bear rebuke, to suffer scorn and scoffing, So send I you to toil for Me alone.

2.   So send I you to bind the bruised and broken, O’er wand’ring souls to work, to weep, to wake, To bear the burdens of a world aweary- So send I you to suffer for My sake.

3.  So send I you - to loneliness and longing, With heart a-hungering for the loved and known; Forsaking home and kindred, friend and dear one, So send I you - to know My love alone.

4.   So send I you - to leave thy life’s ambitions, To die to dear desire, self-will resign, To labour long and love where men revile you, So send I you - to lose your life in Mine.

5.   So send I you to hearts made hard by hatred, To eyes made blind because they will not see, To spend, tho’ it be blood, to spend and spare not- So send I you to taste of Calvary.

0.   As the Father hath sent Me, So send I you.
