Commissioned for the One-Hundred-and-Fiftieth Anniversary of Concordia Theological Seminary Text: Stephen P. Starke, 1995 Tune: "Fort Wayne," Carl Schalk, 1995 1. God gave a vision of the need That Paul might go where God would lead; So by the Spirit gently spurred, He went at once to preach the word. Far distanced from that time and place The need remained to know God's grace; Within a pastor's heart there stirred A prayer for men to preach the word. Refrain: Preach the word, at all times, preach the word; With great care and patience, preach the word! Correct, rebuke, encourage, and assure- Preach the word! Preach the word! 2. God blessed that prayer and students came, Here learned to speak His saving Name; Their sure resolve was undeterred: "0 Lord, send me to preach the word!" The need persists, the hour is late; The workers few, the harvest great. Lord, bless our prayer for men not lured From their desire to preach the word. How can the world God's mercy share Or call upon His name in prayer? Can they believe who have not heard? Some must be sent to preach the word. Unveil, 0 Lord, our blinded view; Anoint our eyes with salve from You That we might see with sight unblurred, One vision clear: to preach the word.
