So Send I You

So send I you to do what I have done and more.
So send I you to fields that are white with harvest.
Never was the need so great nor the workers so few;
It is for this reason, so send I you

So send I you, and you do not go without me,
For wherever you are, there I will also be.
So send I you to labor for me and for the world
Who never knew me
And often will not know you.

So send I you through those who are gathered here;
They are my people and the sheep in my pasture.
The good shepherd is known by his sheep;
So shall they know your voice.
Think not what you should say,
But boldly open your mouth and I will speak,
For I have sent you, so send I you.

So send I you like lambs among wolves.
Carry neither purse, nor script, nor shoes;
And don't stop to chat along the way, no;
And whatever house you enter, leave peace there.
You have not chosen me, I have chosen you.
Those you forgive, I will forgive,

For I have sent you, so send I you;
For I have sent you, so send I you;
For I have sent you, so send I you.
