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.
Chorus:
AAs the Father hath sent me,
So send I you
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 a-
weary
So send I you to suffer for my sake.
3. So send I you- to loneliness and
longing
With heart a-hung’ring 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 your life’s
ambition,
To die to dear desire, self-will
resign,
To labour long and love where men
revile you
So send I you-to loose 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.
