16375. Christian Endeavor

1 True to the mot­to of Chris­tian En­dea­vor,
Working for Christ and the Church day by day;
Come, join a fel­low­ship no­thing can se­ver,
Follow our cap­tain as He leads the way.

Refrain:
Christian En­dea­vor, Chris­tian En­dea­vor,
Join in the cho­rus we joy­ful­ly sing;
Christian En­dea­vor, Chris­tian En­dea­vor,
Winning the world for Je­sus, our king.

2 Saved by the pow’r of the King who has bought us,
Let us go for­ward, ob­ey­ing His call;
Showing to oth­ers the joy He has brought us,
Telling the sto­ry "God’s love is for all." [Refrain]

3 Powers of wick­ed­ness, striv­ing for­ev­er
Body and soul by your wiles to de­stroy:
Hear ye the chal­lenge of Chris­tian En­dea­vor,
"Christ is the Vic­tor, His name we em­ploy!" [Refrain]
