145. America for Christ

1 Dear Saviour, we our love would show,
That all the world might see,
The joy, the rest, the peace they know,
Who love and worship Thee.

Refrain:
America, America!
Thro’out, from sea to sea.
We want America for Christ,
America, the free.

2 Help us, the gospel news to tell,
Till not our hearts alone;
But all who come with us to dwell,
Thy sov’reign right shall own. [Refrain]

3 O send us forth as flaming brands,
Whose sacred beams shall shine;
Till those in all our Island lands,
Behold the light divine. [Refrain]

4 Thy wondrous grace on us bestow,
And fill each heart and mind,
That we with zeal may forward go,
To help and bless mankind. [Refrain]
