[00:00:00] Called To the Foreign Field - Alfred G. Karnes

[00:00:00] Written by：Traditional

[00:00:01] Producer：Ralph Peer

[00:00:02] In the far and heathen country

[00:00:04] Where the people know not God

[00:00:07] I'm going there to preach his precious word

[00:00:12] Where they bow to worship idols

[00:00:14] I'm going there to stay

[00:00:17] Where I'll labor in the vineyard of the lord

[00:00:21] I'll soon be with my loved ones

[00:00:24] In my happy heavenly home

[00:00:26] Even now the thought

[00:00:28] My soul with rapture thrills

[00:00:30] So goodbye my friends and brethren

[00:00:33] For the time has come to go

[00:00:36] I must leave you on the dear old battlefield

[00:00:40] I'm called to bear a message

[00:00:43] To the heathen far away

[00:00:45] And for years o'er there

[00:00:47] A stranger I may roam

[00:00:49] Just to tell them of a savior

[00:00:52] One who died to save them all

[00:00:54] That's the reason why

[00:00:56] I leave my native home

[00:00:59] I'll soon be with my loved ones

[00:01:01] In my happy heavenly home

[00:01:03] Even now the thought

[00:01:05] My soul with rapture thrills

[00:01:08] So goodbye my friends and brethren

[00:01:10] For the time has come to go

[00:01:13] I must leave you on the dear old battlefield

[00:01:17] Many days I'll climb the hillside

[00:01:20] In the sunshine and the rain

[00:01:22] Many days I'll be in hunger and in thirst

[00:01:26] Just to tell them that our

[00:01:28] Lord is coming back to earth again

[00:01:31] With his gifts and blessings

[00:01:33] All as at the first

[00:01:35] I'll soon be with my loved ones

[00:01:37] In my happy heavenly home

[00:01:40] Even now the thought

[00:01:41] My soul with rapture thrills

[00:01:44] So goodbye my friends and brethren

[00:01:46] For the time has come to go

[00:01:49] I must leave you on the dear old battlefield

[00:01:53] I will stand the trials and hardships

[00:01:56] Just to tell them precious truths

[00:01:58] That the gospel of our savior does contain

[00:02:02] And if they will but obey them

[00:02:04] And be faithful til our end

[00:02:07] Up in heaven we will meet you all again

[00:02:12] I'll soon be with my loved ones

[00:02:14] In my happy heavenly home

[00:02:16] Even now the thought

[00:02:17] My soul with rapture thrills

[00:02:20] So goodbye my friends and brethren

[00:02:22] For the time has come to go

[00:02:24] I must leave you on the dear old battlefield

[00:02:29] We'll not all be foreign laborers

[00:02:32] But the time has soon arrived

[00:02:34] When our mission we have faithfully fulfilled

[00:02:38] When our message is delivered

[00:02:40] And' tis said of us well done

[00:02:43] In triumph we'll leave the dear old battlefield

[00:02:47] I'll soon be with my loved ones

[00:02:49] In my happy heavenly home

[00:02:52] Even now the thought

[00:02:53] My soul with rapture thrills

[00:02:56] So goodbye my friends and brethren

[00:02:58] For the time has come to go

[00:03:01] I must leave you on the dear old battlefield
