1.

There’s a way that Jesus opened up for all,
All who willingly will answer to His call.
All the honor and the things of earth forsake;
Die to self and of God’s nature thus partake.

Chorus:

We must run! We must run!
There’s a glorious prize to be won.
Jesus’ bride! Jesus’ bride!
Cast away every other thought beside.

2.

As in heaven we must do His will on earth.
To grow more like Jesus is our only worth.
Only one consideration in our life—
Grace abounds to help us in the daily strife.

3.

Body, soul, and spirit—each must blameless be!
Humbled, cleansed, and raised in glorious purity.
Spirits contrite, lowly, peaceable, and mild,
With a simple faith just as a little child.

4.

What great virtues must His holy bride possess!
Pure and spotless, white and gleaming, is her dress.
This our aim: use every moment of the day!
Soon Christ comes; fight harder; always watch and pray!
