Representative Text

1 Let us endeavor to speak for the Master;
Surely he's worthy our heartiest praise;
Worthy our loyal and loving confession;
Worthy the hymns of thanksgiving we raise.

Chorus:
Helping us ever
In each endeavor,
Jesus stands by us to give us success;
His arm upholding,
His love enfolding
Jesus will guide us, and Jesus will bless.

2 Let us endeavor to work for the Master;
Serving in gladness wherever we go,
Keeping our lamps shining out in the darkness,
Till others follow the heaven lit glow. [Chorus]

3 Let us endeavor to live for the Master;
Live for his glory who died for our sin;
Yield our all in a true consecration,
Trusting, obeying, his blessings we win. [Chorus]
