The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church ‎#324

324. Servants of the Christ

l Servants of the Christ your Savior,
He will guide you through His word;
Ye have heard the call to labor
In the harvest of the Lord.

Refrain:
Go ye forth and preach the Gospel!
Take the Spirit's power supreme!
Offer full and free salvation:
Christ is able to redeem.

2 O the sweet old Gospel story
With its power to release;
Prophets long foretold the glory
Of the coming Prince of Peace. [Refrain]

3 Plunged in sin and worldly sorrow,
Men are tempted to despair;
Point them to the cross of Jesus,
They will find deliverance there. [Refrain]

4 When the weary, way-worn pilgrim,
With his heavy load is found,
Bid him look away to Jesus,
Hope and strength in Him abound. [Refrain]

5 Then, when all life's work is ended,
And we lay our trophies down,
We will join the heavenly chorus,
And our Master, victor crown. [Refrain]
