Those marvelous Saints who embraced this great work

and shared it in lands far and near,

    Am             D                G               Em
Who gave all their heart, mind, and strength to the Lord

     D          A7        D
with wisdom and vision so clear,

    D7         G         C          Em

   Am    Em C6    C  D
of souls prepared to hear

   F#        Bm            A7     D
Of knowledge sure, born of humble heart,

    Bm                 A
and love that banished fear.

and thrust in our sickle with might,

   Am        D           G          Em
If we will embark in the service of God

    D          A7              D
and harvest in fields that are white,

    D7          G            C         Em
Our souls may receive the salvation of God -

    Am Em   C6 C   D
the fulness of his light,

     F#     Bm             A7      D
That we may stand, free of sin and blame,

      Bm           A
God's glory in our sight.
