1.

When God’s will is your desire,
And He answers you with fire,
Then lead souls who’re bound in sin
To light and heaven’s peace within.

2.

Many souls in bondage languish,
Bound in chains of inner anguish.
Tear them free with zeal and might.
Lead them from prison to the light.

3.

In the pow’r of God be driven;
By His might you skill are given.
Help God’s people, halt and lame,
That by His arm they’re freed from shame.

4.

Go at once! The labors enter!
Heed no scoffer or dissenter.
We for you will intercede;
God’s pow’r is now at work indeed.
