|  | 1. | Our faith to God-ward must in these days | 
|  |  | spread abroad. | 
|  |  | To show we've turned from idols to the living | 
|  |  | God. | 
|  |  | We'll mix His Word with faith by answering | 
|  |  | "Amen!" | 
|  |  | And to Christ in the Word turn again and | 
|  |  | again. | 
|  |  | Our work of faith must grow exceedingly, | 
|  |  | The labor of our love increase abundantly; | 
|  |  | His sanctifying work in us go on and on, | 
|  |  | While in patience of hope we will watch till | 
|  |  | He come. | 
|  | 2. | The love all the brothers, in our midst is found, | 
|  |  | But in these days our love must increase and | 
|  |  | abound. | 
|  |  | The Lord direct our hearts into the love of God | 
|  |  | And prepare us in full for the day of the Lord. | 
|  | 3. | Our spirit, soul, and body wholly sanctified- | 
|  |  | Our faithful Lord will do it to prepare His | 
|  |  | Bride, | 
|  |  | While we amen His voice in matters great or | 
|  |  | small, | 
|  |  | That we all may be ready to hear Jesus' call. | 
|  | 4. | The Lord Himself shall come, and we shall be | 
|  |  | with Him- | 
|  |  | Oh, what a glorious hope! Come quickly, | 
|  |  | Lord, Amen. | 
|  |  | We'd ever watchful be to see Thee in the air | 
|  |  | And as sons of the day for that meeting | 
|  |  | prepare. |
