Final Hymn
1. I the Lord of sea and sky
I have heard my people cry
All who dwell in dark and sin
My hand will save.
I who made the stars of night
I will make their darkness bright
Who will bear my light to them?
Whom shall I send?
Chorus: Here I am Lord, is it I Lord?

I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go Lord, if you lead me
I will hold your people in my heart.
2. I the Lord of snow and rain
I have born my people’s pain.
I have wept for love of them
They turn away.
I will break their hearts of stone
Give them hearts for love alone
I will speak my word to them
Whom shall I send

Finest bread I will provide
Till their hearts be satisfied
