Our faith to God-ward must in these days spread abroad

Our faith to God-ward must in these days spread abroad

To show we’ve turned from idols to the living God.

We’ll mix His Word with faith by answering “Amen!”

And to Christ in the Word turn again and again.

Our work of faith must grow exceedingly

The labor of our love increase abundantly

His sanctifying work in us go on and on

While in patience of hope we will watch till He come.

The love for all the brothers

in our midst is found

But in these days our love must increase and abound.

The Lord direct our hearts into the love of God

And prepare us in full for the day of the Lord.

Our spirit

soul

and body wholly sanctified—

Our faithful Lord will do it to prepare His Bride

While we amen His voice in matters great or small

That we all may be ready to hear Jesus’ call.

The Lord Himself shall come

and we shall be with Him—

Oh

what a glorious hope! Come quickly

Lord

Amen.

We’d ever watchful be to see Thee in the air

And as sons of the day for that meeting prepare.
