The Silver Chime ‎#99

99. No. 6 (Charity)--"Lovely Children of the Graces"

1 Lovely Children of the Graces
Chosen for a work divine,
Glad and holy is your mission
Where the sons of sorrow pine,
Armed by Faith, by her supported,
Go ye forth in strength and power,
Hope will be your faithful leader,
Love will on you blessings shower.

2 Go ye forth with trust unfailing,
Ye shall surely victors be,
Myriad souls are sadly waiting
For the hour that sets them free,
Fly, O fly, 'tis yours to rescue
All oppressed by wrong or sin,
Give the evil spirits battle,
Let the strife of love begin.

3 Into every soul ye enter
Life and light, and joy will come,
Drive away the pow'rs of darkness
From Immanuel's sacred throne,
Glorious then the human spirit,
Free, and pure, and sanctified,
In his name possess and fill it,
Who for man hath lived and died.
