Pray! Give! Go!

"And He was saying to them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest." Luke 10:2

Three things they had to do:
And we who serve Him here below
And long to see His kingdom come
May pray or give or go.

He needs them all - the open hand,
The willing foot, the praying heart,
To work together and to weave
A threefold cord that shall not part.

Nor will the giver count his gift
As greater than the worker's deed,
Nor he in turn his service boast
Above the prayers that voice the need.

Not all can go, not all can give
To speed the message on its way,
But, young or old or rich or poor,
Or strong or weak - we all can pray;

Pray that the gold-filled hands may give
To arm the others for the fray,
That those who hear the call may go,
And pray - that other hearts may pray.
