Representative Text

1 We are friends of Jesus, “all and always for the King;”
For His gracious blessings we His praises now would sing;
To His glorious service all our talents we will bring,
And we’ll help to win the world for God.

Refrain:
“All and always, always for the King;”
“All and always, always for the King;”
To His glorious service all our talents we will bring,
And we’ll help to win the world for God.

2 Hear the cry of anguish, “come and help us ere we die!”
To Christ’s, “Go and teach them,” we would answer, “Here am I!”
Deeply stirred in soul are we, to aid them we will try,
And we’ll help to win the world for God. [Refrain]

3 Loyal to our Zion, blessings on her we will pray;
Zion of our fathers, take not, Lord, her light away;
Keep her in Thy service true until the crowning day,
When the world shall all be won to God. [Refrain]
