I'll Go

Representative Text

1 The harvest call comes o'er the wave,
I'll go (I'll go), I'll go (I'll gladly go);
And seek some struggling soul to save,
I'll go (I'll go), I'll go.

Refrain:
I'll go (I'll go), And press the fight,
Against the foe (Against the mighty foe);
I'll spread (I'll spread) the gospel light,
I'll go (I'll go), I'll go (I'll gladly go).

2 The harvest calls, the fields are white,
I'll go (I'll go), I'll go (I'll gladly go);
And labor there for God and right,
I'll go (I'll go), I'll go. [Refrain]

3 Lost souls are wand'ring in the night,
I'll go (I'll go), I'll go (I'll gladly go);
And strive to lead them to the light,
I'll go (I'll go), I'll go. [Refrain]
