No more will we ob­ey;
A cer­tain path to Heav­en.
My heart is wounded—Lord, I pray,
Send us to la­bor, urge us on our way.
For we are so young, and so weak, and so small;
Till all man­kind shall learn Thy name,
Now ov­er­whelmed with guilt and shame,

Stretch out

And drive Thy foes away.
To guide our err­ing youth;
But wouldst Thou not, still with me stay
Feel through Thine host the thrill of life di­vine;
To keep us from sin, and from dan­ger and harm.
Open a door which earth and hell
The same Thy pow­er, Thy grace the same.
