1261--In New Zealand we must take our stand

In New Zealand we must take our stand

1261

	1.	In New Zealand we must take our stand
		To meet Thy demand in these days.
		Lord, Thy purpose great doth our heart elate,
		As Thy name we now exalt and praise.
		Purpose, purpose, Thine eternal purpose;
		Show forth Christ and shame the enemy;
		Purpose, purpose, Thine eternal purpose;
		In New Zealand realized must be.
	2.	All things we forsake for Thy Body's sake,
		Soul-life for us break in Thy way.
		We've been wrecked by Thee, since Thy plan
		we see;
		On Thine altar everything we lay.
		Break us! Break us! For Thy purpose break
		us.
		Grant our spirits, Lord, a full release;
		Break us! Break us! For Thy purpose break
		us;
		In New Zealand, Jesus must increase.
	3.	With this vision clear and Thy presence dear,
		Our hearts have no fear-forth we go.
		Lord, Thy heart's desire has set us afire;
		To Thy chosen ones this vision show:
		Lampstands, lampstands, see the golden
		lampstands,
		Shining with the glory of the Lord.
		Lampstands, lampstands, see the golden
		lampstands,
		In New Zealand, Jesus Christ is Lord.
