113. Saved to Serve

1 Going forth at Christ’s command,
Going forth to ev’ry land;
Full salvation making known,
Thro’ the blood of God’s dear Son.

Refrain:
“Saved to serve!” the watchwords ring,
Saved to serve our glorious King;
Tell the story o’er and o’er,
Saved to serve for evermore.

2 Serving God through all our days,
Toiling not for purse or praise;
But to magnify His name,
While the Gospel we proclaim. [Refrain]

3 Seeking only souls to win
From the deadly pow’r of sin;
We would guide their steps aright,
Out of darkness into light. [Refrain]
