Gloria in Excelsis ‎#34

34. In the Name of the King

1 O bring your service true to Jesus,
And heed His ringing call;
O come with strength and hope and courage,
And pledge to Him your all.

Chorus:
In the name, blessed name of the King,
Spend the best of your youth for His gain;
All your splendid ardor gladly bring,
With a faith that will not wane.
In the name, blessed name of the King,
Hold a standard so noble today;
Swiftly come and pledge your loyalty
To the Lord who reigns for aye!

2 With souls aflame for Christ the Saviour,
With bright and flashing eye,
Go forth to serve the need of others,
Your banner lifted high. [Chorus]

3 With host of youth for God assembled,
The right shall surely win,
And lo, the faith of Christ the Saviour
Shall conquer over sin. [Chorus]
