Gold Tried in the Fire ‎#23

23. Training for Jesus

1 Training for Jesus our Captain and Lord,
Ready to more when He speaketh the word,
Searching the scriptures and never in vain,
Rich is the harvest and great is the gain.

Chorus:
Give us the Bible ever ‘tis new,
Bible blest story of love,
Give us the Bible holy and true,
Bread to the soul from above.

2 Living for Jesus a life pure and true,
Willing to tread in the way with the few,
Filled with a longing to stand ev’ry test,
Anxious for nothing yet wanting God’s best. [Chorus]

3 Working for Jesus thro’ sunshine or cloud,
Telling the story of God’s love abroad,
Keeping our lives with humility shod,
This is our motto “forever for God.” [Chorus]
