Friends, with joyful hearts, proclaim
Ever more our glorious aim,
Pledging love and life and all,
At the Savior's urging call.
Hear our promise glad and true,
Souls, O Lord, we'll seek for you.

Let us at the Lord's command,
Set to work with heart and hand,
Bring unto the ancient night
Tidings of His love and lignt.
Hear our promise glad and true,
Souls, O Lord, we'll seek for you.

All the treasures we possess,
All our love and tenderness,
Here before your mercy seat,
Lord, we lay them at your feet.
Hear our promise glad and true,
Souls, O Lord, we'll seek for you.

Undisturbed in mind and soul,
Press we on to gain the goal;
Foll'wing Christ in joy and pain,
Judging death itself but gain.
Hear our promise glad and true,
Souls, O Lord, we'll seek for you.
