EN 2139 The Voice of God Is Calling

Isa.6.8

Versi Version 1

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!
