28. The Future Is Calling

1 The future is calling for service sincere;
The future is calling so each one may hear.
The call is a challenge to dare and to do,
The call is a challenge to brave ones and true.

Refrain:
The future is calling, Endeav’rer, to you;
The future is calling to much that is new;
For Christ and the Church, and the world with its need,
There’s a sacrifice call that is service indeed.

2 The future is calling, the call is of God;
The future is calling, no reed, but a rod;
The call is heroic, brave hearts and stout hands,
The call is heroic, it touches far lands. [Refrain]

3 The future is calling, the winepress runs red;
The future is calling ‘mid dying and dead.
The hour is for service, nor glory nor gain;
The hour is for service till Jesus shall reign. [Refrain]

4 The future is calling a bugle blast strong;
The future is calling for short or for long;
Till night rides the waves of an unending sea,
The call is to service: To you and to me. [Refrain]
