For Christ and the Church

For Christ and the Church

let our voic­es ring

Let us hon­or the name of our own bless­èd king;

Let us work with a will in the strength of youth

And loy­al­ly stand for the king­dom of truth.

For Christ our dear Re­deem­er

For Christ who died to save;

For the Church His blood hath pur­chased

Lord

make us pure and brave.

For Christ and the Church

Be our ear­nest pray­er

Let us fol­low His ban­ner

the cross dai­ly bear;

Let us yield

whol­ly yield

to His Spir­it’s pow­er

And faith­ful­ly serve Him in life’s bright­est hour.

For Christ and the Church

Willing of­fer­ings make

Time and tal­ents and gold

For the dear Mas­ter’s sake;

We’ll re­mem­ber the best we can bring to Him

The heart’s wealth of love

That will nev­er grow dim.

For Christ and the Church

let us cast aside

By His con­quer­ing grace

Chains of self

fear and pride;

May our lives be en­riched by an aim so grand

Then hap­py the call to the Sav­ior’s right hand.
