1.
Friends with joyful hearts proclaim,
Evermore our glorious aim,
Pledging love and life and all,
At the Saviour’s urging call.
Hear our promise glad and true,
Souls, O Lord, we’ll seek for you.
2.
Let us at the Lord’s command,
Set to work with heart and hand;
Bring unto the ancient night,
Tidings of His love and light.
Hear our promise glad and true,
Souls, O Lord, we’ll seek for you.
3.
All the treasures we possess,
All our love and tenderness,
Here before your mercy seat
Lord, we lay them at your feet.
Hear our promise glad and true,
Souls, O Lord, we’ll seek for you.
4.
Undisturbed in mind and soul,
Press we on to gain the goal;
Following Christ in joy and pain,
Judging death itself but gain,
Hear our promise glad and true,
Souls, O Lord, we’ll seek for you.
