1.

Think—in the Church of God a place we’re given!
This call exceeds what any words could tell.
We strive and battle for the prize in heaven;
We’re strengthened at the living well.

Chorus:

We drink of living waters clear.
For coming darkness we’ve no fear.
We’re raised with Christ, and we shall be
Joint heirs with Him eternally.

2.

To be the bride of Christ is our desire
And be made useful vessels in God’s hands.
Till death we’ll fight that this we may acquire;
We must break through all earthly bands.

3.

O may no suff’ring keep us from attaining
The glory we can win upon life’s way.
Let’s fill our vessels in the time remaining
With oil from olives crushed each day.

Chorus:

With jubilation, God we praise!
And joy from heaven fills our days.
We’re raised with Christ, and we shall be
Joint heirs with Him eternally.
