The World for the Lord

Beloved of Je­sus

go forth and God speed thee!

Be swift in His name till the end of the days!

Let Christ

the great lead­er

om­ni­po­tent lead thee—

His king­dom thy boast

and His glo­ry thy praise!

Arise and be do­ing! Above and around thee

The ranks of the ran­somed in pa­no­ply teem;

Be val­iant in serv­ice

for Je­sus hath crowned thee

A serv­ant of ma­ny

to save and re­deem.

To act­ion! de­lay not! thy mis­sion

sal­va­tion;

The grace of thy go­ing each gate­way un­bars;

Win souls for the day of the King’s co­ro­na­tion;

The ones who turn ma­ny shall shine as the stars.

O

haste thee

nor tar­ry! stay not for the mor­row!

Jehovah

our God

thy de­fense and thy might;

Bear light in­to dark­ness

and joy un­to sor­row;

Be firm and be fear­less

for God and the right.

O

faint not

nor fal­ter

tho’ bur­dens op­press thee;

Thy buck­ler and shield the im­ma­cu­late word;

His pow­er and the spir­it of con­quest pos­sess thee

Thy war cry and watch­word—the world for the Lord.
