1.

O hear the Spirit’s voice!
It makes your heart rejoice.
A mighty sound from all around—
the glory of the Lord!
Disciples learn to speak
To strengthen all the weak.
Incline your ear each morn to hear
what you can learn from God.

Chorus:

/: Charge, disciple flock! :/
Hear the call now, brothers,
Run! Run! Run!
To war you boldly go,
So you break through the foe.
Upon the cross!
Count all as loss!
Upon the cross you go!

2.

Two trees grow in the Church
Raised from the self-same earth.
To eat just of the tree of knowledge
drives you far from God.
The hidden manna’s yours
Who fiery trials endure.
In you the tree of life we see
as you bear fruit for God.

3.

See Joseph all alone,
In pit and prison thrown,
Was faithful there, did not despair,
sinned not against his God.
A fruitful bough became,
With pow’r he overcame.
So greatly blest! His righteousness
received reward from God.

4.

Dear brother, forward go!
Great grace God will bestow.
Do not stand still; the Spirit will
strike down all foes within.
Your God stands by your side;
In holy fear abide.
Awake from sleep! Your cov’nant keep
which you have made with Him.
