1 Lord, we come with hearts aflame,
Seeking service in Thy Name;
All our youth and strength are Thine,
Given to help Thy work divine;
All our love and faith we bring,
They are Thine, O heavenly King.

2 Lord of hosts, we ask Thine aid,
Keep us ever unafraid;
Hold us loyal, hold us true
To the task we have to do;
Lead us on to victory;
We shall triumph praising Thee.

3 Lord of all, we take our stand,
Giving help at Thy command;
Eager, joyful, blithe, and strong,
Thrilled with love and filled with song,
Lord, we come with hearts aflame,
Seeking service in Thy Name.
