Someone Shall Go

Someone shall go at the Mas­ter’s word

Over the sea to the lands afar

Telling to those who have nev­er heard

What His won­der­ful mer­cies are.

Shall it be you—shall it be I?

Who shall haste to tell what we know so well?

Shall you? Shall I?

Someone shall ga­ther the sheaves for Him

Someone shall bind them with joy­ful hand

Someone shall toil through the sha­dows dim

For the morn in the heav’n­ly land.

Shall it be you—shall it be I?

Who shall bind the corn for the gold­en morn?

Shall you? Shall I?

Someone shall tra­vel with eag­er feet

Over the mount­ain and through the wild

Bringing the news of re­demp­tion sweet

To each wan­der­ing sin­ful child.

Shall it be you—shall it be I?

Who shall sound the tale ov­er hill and dale?

Shall you? Shall I?

Someone shall car­ry His ban­ner high

Waving it out where the foe holds sway

Some in His serv­ice shall live and die

And with Je­sus shall win the day!

Shall it be you—shall it be I?

Who His name shall bear

and His tri­umph share?

Shall you? Shall I?
