Called To The Foreign Field
Alfred G. Karnes

In the far and heathen country where the people know not God

I am going there to preach His precious word

Where they bow to worship idols, I am going there to stay

Where I'll labor in the vineyard of the Lord

I'll soon be with my loved ones in my happy heavenly home

Even now, the thought my soul with rapture thrills

So goodbye, my friends and brethren

For the time has come to go

I must leave you on the dear old battlefield

I am called to bear a message to the heathen far away

And for years, o'er there, a stranger I may roam

Just to tell them of a Savior, one who died to save them all

That's the reason why I leave my native home

I'll soon be with my loved ones in my happy heavenly home

Even now, the thought my soul with rapture thrills

So goodbye, my friends and brethren

For the time has come to go

I must leave you on the dear old battlefield

Many days I'll climb the hillside in the sunshine and the rain

Many days I'll be in hunger and in thirst

Just to tell them that our Lord is coming back to earth again

With His gifts and blessings, all as at the first

I'll soon be with my loved ones in my happy heavenly home

Even now, the thought my soul with rapture thrills

So goodbye, my friends and brethren

For the time has come to go

I must leave you on the dear old battlefield

I will stand the trials and hardships

Just to tell them precious truths

That the gospel of our Savior does contain

And if they will but obey them and be faithful 'til our end

Up in heaven we will meet you all again

I'll soon be with my loved ones in my happy heavenly home

Even now, the thought my soul with rapture thrills

So goodbye, my friends and brethren

For the time has come to go

I must leave you on the dear old battlefield

We'll not all be foreign laborers but the time has soon arrived

When our mission we have faithfully fulfilled

When our message is delivered and 'tis said of us, Well done

In triumph we'll leave the dear old battlefield

I'll soon be with my loved ones in my happy heavenly home

Even now, the thought my soul with rapture thrills

So goodbye, my friends and brethren

For the time has come to go

I must leave you on the dear old battlefield
