Hear the cry—the call for overcomers!

Hear the cry—the call for overcomers!

Who will serve to be God’s instrument

As the means to consummate the present

Ush’ring in the glorious King’s descent?

With the marching throng leave all else behind;

Let not a price be left unpaid.

Answer gladly

without reservation;

Great resolutions now be made!

Who shall go

with King’s commission laden?

Only men trained for the battlefield.

Thus

dear saints

we need to be perfected!

Sendable—a worthy trait to wield.

Trained in life

in truth

and in character

In service

and God’s ordained way.

God needs such enlisted in His army

To meet His urgent need today.

In the splendor of our consecration

Thy willing host

Lord

Behold!

Under Thy perfecting hands committed

Foll’wing the vision we hold!

Let the age today be consummated

The kingdom brought

and Christ extolled!

In Thy life we’d grow

e’ermore advancing

Under Thy dispensing daily be.

Thorough dealings work Thou in our being

Deepening our roots and love for Thee.

Make us hunger so on Thy word to feed

That high peak truth be stored in us.

Lab’ring on the riches of Thy speaking

We’d share the good deposit thus.

Vessels with humanity uplifted;

Tempered

balanced

to Thy mold conformed.

Live reality which is in Jesus

To express the Christ within us formed.

Then the self deny

in the Body serve

Invest our talents faithfully.

In the morn revived

o’ercoming daily;

Outflow of life our work shall be.

In the splendor of our consecration

Thy willing host

Lord

Behold!

Under Thy perfecting hands committed

Foll’wing the vision we hold!

Let the age today be consummated

The kingdom brought

and Christ extolled!

To the world proclaim the kingdom’s gospel

Nourish saints in homes with warm embrace

All perfect in groups by mutual teaching

And in meetings speak the words of grace.

The perfected saints

hence

the Body build;

The Bride at last shall be prepared.

Lo! The beachhead of the coming Kingdom;

The present age’s end declared!

How we yearn to see the King in glory!

In our lifetime may His coming be.

In the kingdom manifested fully

Reign as kings with Christ—our hope we’ll see!

Make us ready

Lord—in Thy presence

meet—

On spices’ mountain Thee to face.

Then forever in the Holy City

Loud and resoundingly we’ll praise!

In the splendor of our consecration

Thy willing host

Lord

Behold!

Under Thy perfecting hands committed

Foll’wing the vision we hold!

Let the age today be consummated

The kingdom brought

and Christ extolled!
