Refrain:
God, your glory we have seen in your Son,
full of truth, full of heav'nly grace;
in Christ make us live, his love shine on our face,
and the nations shall see in us the triumph you have won.
1 In the fields of this world
his good news he has sown,
and send us out to reap
till the harvest is done. (Refrain)
2 In his love, like a fire
that consumes, he passes by.
The flame has touched our lips;
let us shout, "Here am I!" (Refrain)
3 He was broken for us,
God-forsaken his cry,
and still the bread he breaks:
to ourselves we must die. (Refrain)
4 He has trampled the grapes
of new life on his cross.
Now drink the cup and live;
he has filled it for us. (Refrain)
5 He has founded a kingdom
that none shall destory;
the cornerstone is laid;
go to work, build with joy! (Refrain)
