The world for God! The world for God!
There痴 nothing else will meet
the hunger of my soul.
I see forsaken children,
I see the tears that fall
From women痴 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値l do my part!
The world for God! The world for God!
I give my heart! I値l 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!
I give my heart! I値l do my part!
The world for God! The world for God!
I give my heart! I値l do my part!
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!
The world for God! The world for God!
I give my heart! I値l do my part!
The world for God! The world for God!
I give my heart! I値l do my part!
