1 In the ranks of Christian workers
There are places yet to fill;
Jesus calls for faithful toilers,
With a loyal heart and will.

Refrain:
There’s a place for ev’ryone in the service of the King;
There is work that must be done
If the world to Christ we bring.
Be your talents one or ten,
Keep a heart that’s brave and true;
There’s a place for ev’ryone,
There’s a place for you. [Refrain]

2 Not a moment should be wasted,
Souls are dying ev’rywhere;
Go and tell them of the Saviour,
Ere they perish in despair.

3 Tho’ you feel so weak, unworthy,
God will give sustaining grace;
Be no more an idle watcher,
To the work, oh, find your place! [Refrain]
