In Chicago* land we must take our stand

In Chicago* land we must take our stand

To meet Thy demand in these days.

Lord

Thy purpose great doth our heart elate

As Thy name we now exalt and praise.

Purpose

Thine eternal purpose;

Show forth Christ and shame the enemy;

Purpose

Thine eternal purpose

In Chicago realized must be.

All things we forsake for Thy Body’s sake

Soul-life for us break in Thy way.

We’ve been wrecked by Thee

since Thy plan we see;

On Thine altar everything we lay.

Break us! Break us! For Thy purpose break us.

Grant our spirits

Lord

a full release;

Break us! Break us! For Thy purpose break us;

In Chicago

Jesus must increase.

With this vision clear and Thy presence dear

Our hearts have no fear—forth we go.

Lord

Thy heart’s desire has set us afire;

To Thy chosen ones this vision show:

Lampstand

see the golden lampstand

Shining with the glory of the Lord.

see the golden lampstand

In Chicago

Jesus Christ is Lord.
