Lyrics

Where the fight is hard­est and the he­roes fall,
Where the night is dark­est and the lost ones call,
Master, I would fol­low, fol­low on­ly Thee—
Here am I; send me!

Refrain

Here am I; send me!
Here am I; send me!
If it on­ly be on an er­rand for Thee—
Here am I; send me!

Where the need is great­est, I would brave­ly stand,
Fearless, brave, and loy­al, with a help­ing hand,
Here am I for ser­vice what­so­e’er it be—
Here am I; send me!

Refrain

Where Thy hand would lead me ov­er all the world,
I would glad­ly fol­low till there is un­furled
Thy blest ban­ner wav­ing ov­er hearts set free—
Here am I; send me!
