With God's faith-seed in our heart
In Christ's kingdom shall be our part
Crying out to the sons of men
"Fear our God, and be freed from sin"Working faith increased by love -
Mansions in Thy city large
Fit us for our rest above
Light from Jesus to give us charge
In our heart Thy hope so bright
Takes our mouth from complaint to sight
When Thy light lands upon the truth
Makes to melt all desires of youth
Whence is met the surly mind -
This Thy Sword shall swift put to flight
Anger, envy, hatred, pride
With the hope of the death of night
Our God's love shed for mankind
Bought our souls - gave us all His mind
Thoughts so holy and only right
Bring no gossip from slander's spite
Perfect love shall kill all pride -
Now we bid men to "Come and see -
Love that flamed when Jesus died
"Our pure God hast died for thee:
"Rose to life on the morn of day three:
"Jesus Christ is the King of kings."
