1 By the help of God, we’ll endeavor
To gather the lost ones in,
Who have strayed away on the mountain,
Who dwell in the haunts of sin.

Chorus:
We’ll endeavor, we’ll endeavor,
By the help of God we’ll endeavor;
To the fold of Christ from the haunts of sin,
We will gather the lost ones in.

2 By the help of God, we’ll endeavor
To spread the glad news abroad,
Of the Christ who saves and redeems men,
Who calls wand’rers home to God. [Chorus]

3 By the help of God, we’ll endeavor
In Christ’s work to never pause,
Give our means and time with our talents,
To help on our Master’s cause. [Chorus]
