Called To The Foreign Field - Alfred Karnes[00:00:00]

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

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

I am going there to preach His precious word[00:00:07]

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

I am going there to stay[00:00:14]

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

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

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

Even now the thought[00:00:26]

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

So goodbye my friends and brethren[00:00:31]

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

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

I am called to bear a message[00:00:40]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Even now the thought[00:01:04]

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

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

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

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

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

In the sunshine and the rain[00:01:19]

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

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

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

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

All as at the first[00:01:32]

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

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

Even now the thought[00:01:40]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I'll soon be with my loved ones[00:02:11]

In my happy heavenly home[00:02:13]

Even now the thought[00:02:16]

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

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

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

I must leave you on the dear old battlefield[00:02:25]

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

But the time has soon arrived[00:02:31]

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

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

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

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

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

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

Even now the thought[00:02:52]

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

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

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

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