Wanted Hearts

Author: John Lawley Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: Wanted: hearted baptized with fire Refrain First Line: Hearts to hoiste the colors bravely Lyrics: 1. Wanted: hearts baptized with fire, Hearts completely cleansed from sin; Hearts that will go to the mire, Hearts that dare do aught for Him; Hearts that will be firmer, braver, Hearts like heroes gone before; Hearts enjoying God’s full favor, Hearts to love Him more and more. Refrain: Hearts to hoist the colors bravely, Hearts to share the hardest fight; Hearts that know their duty clearly, Hearts to dare and do the right. 2. Wanted: hearts that beat true ever, Hearts that can for others feel; Hearts that prove the traitor never, Hearts that will the wounded heal; Hearts o’erflowing with compassion, Hearts renewed by grace divine; Hearts aglow with full salvation, Hearts to say: “Thy will, not mine!” 3. Wanted: hearts to love the masses, Hearts to help Him seek the lost; Hearts to help Him save all classes, Hearts to help Him save the worst; Hearts to share with Him the weeping, Hearts to bear with Him the cross; Hearts to help Him with the reaping, Hearts to trust through gain or loss. 4. Wanted: hearts like Thine, Lord, holy, Hearts that in Thine image shine; Hearts that turn from sin and folly, Hearts to know no way but Thine; Hearts that unto Thee are given, Hearts possessed with dying love; Hearts on earth but filled with Heaven, Hearts inspired from above.
