, True and Loyal Every Day
. .
C. P. BOLLMAN •
• •
. .
The fields are white to harvest,
And laborers are few;
• Lord, send forth many reapers,
. 1
. Devoted men and true.
1
.1 Send forth the threefold message
•1 By press and pulpit too;
Raise up in every quarter
More reapers tried and true.
And give Thou grace to labor
As Christ our Lord would do;
That every missionary
May ever be most true.
And while the fields are whitening,
And reapers toil and pray,
May we who man the home base
Be loyal every day.
