The World for God

The world for God! The world for God!

There’s no­thing else will meet the hun­ger of my soul.

I see for­sak­en child­ren

I see the tears that fall

From wo­men’s eyes once mer­ry

now nev­er laugh at all;

I see the sins and sor­rows of those who sit in dark­ness;

I see in lands far dist­ant

the hun­gry and op­pressed.

But be­hold! On a hill

Cal­va­ry! Cal­va­ry!

The world for God! The world for God!

I give my heart! I’ll do my part!

The world for God! The world for God!

I give my heart! I’ll do my part!

The world for God! The world for God!

I call to arms the sol­diers of the blood and fire:

Go with the Ho­ly Bi­ble. Its words are peace and life

To mul­ti­tudes who strug­gle with crime and want and strife.

Go with your songs of mer­cy

show Christ in lov­ing kind­ness

Make known the suf­fer­ings of the cross

the sac­ri­fice of God.

For beh­old! On a hill

Cal­va­ry! Cal­va­ry!

The world for God! The world for God!

For this

dear Lord

give to my soul con­sum­ing fire.

Give fire that makes men he­roes

turns weak­ness in­to might

The fire that gives the cour­age to suf­fer for the fight

The fire that chang­es fear­ing to Pen­te­cost­al dar­ing

The fire that makes me will­ing for Christ to live or die;

For be­hold! On a hill

Cal­va­ry! Cal­va­ry!
