Lord, save thy world; in bitter need
Thy children lift their cry to thee;
We wait thy liberating deed
To signal hope and set us free.
Lord, save thy world; our souls are bound
In iron chains of fear and pride;
High walls of ignorance around
Our faces from each other hide.
Lord, save thy world; we strive in vain
To save ourselves without thine aid;
What skill and science slowly gain
Is soon to evil ends betrayed.
Lord, save thy world, but thou hast sent
The Saviour who we sorely need;
For us his tears and blood were spent,
That from our bonds we might be freed.
Then save us now, by Jesus’ power,
And use the lives thy love sets free,
To bring at last the glorious hour
When all will find thy liberty.
