Called of God
C. P. BOLLMAN
Called of God to His ministry,
Called to speak for thy Lord;
Called to be an ambassador,
Bearing His living word.
Voicing a message of mercy,
Offering freedom from sin,
Saying, " Only accept Him,
And victory you shall win."
Work of the Master is urgent,
Time's sands are wasting fast;
Speed then the Lord's solemn message;
Of Heaven's appeals, 'tis the last.
Then hasten, 0 messenger, hasten!
The warning ring out clear;
Say, " Prepare for the Lord's returning,
His coming is almost here."
