Saved to Serve

 Saved to Serve

Going forth at Christ's command,
Going forth to every land;
Full salvation making known,
Thro' the blood of God's dear Son.

Serving God through all our days,
Toiling not for purse or praise;
But to magnify His name,
While the gospel we proclaim.

Seeking only souls to win,
From the deadly power of sin;
We would guide their steps aright,
Out of darkness into light.

"Saved to serve!" the watchword ring,
"Saved to serve," our glorious King;
Tell the story o'er and o'er,
"Saved to serve" forever more.

D. W. Whittle
