1 Give me a vision, Lord, I plead,
Vision of souls and a world in need:
Loved ones and friends, the one next door,
Then let me see there are millions more.

Refrain:
Give me a vision,
Heart-stirring vision,
Open my eyes, Lord, today;
Show me the sighing,
Doomed and the dying,
Give me a vision, I pray.

2 Give me a vision, Lord divine,
Kindle with fire this cold heart of mine;
May with unselfishness it burn,
Fill me with love and a deep concern. [Refrain]

3 Give me a vision, Lord divine,
So charged with power that it shall shine
Out to the lost in deepest night,
Wandering alone in their sad, sad plight. [Refrain]

4 Give me a vision, Lord divine,
Without a limit or boundary line;
Help me to see a world in sin,
Not just the field I am working in. [Refrain]
