1 We are for the great migration,
And, O Lord, we seek Thy face.
Who? and when? and where? Lord Jesus,
Grant us now Thy blessed grace.
2 This is for Thy house and city,
This is for Thy kingdom, Lord;
To subdue the earth before us
We are all in one accord.
3 Of the Father, through Christ Jesus,
By the Spirit's flowing free;
In our spirit, on the church-ground —
This the way of victory.
4 Burden us with Thy great plan, Lord;
Consecrated we would be.
To fulfill Thy holy purpose
Saturate us thoroughly.
5 Build, O build us all together,
Let us here our lessons learn,
Send us forth to many cities
For the church-life there to burn.
6 Many places need a beachhead
To bring in Thy reign and rule.
Lord, build up the local churches
That Thy kingdom come in full!
7 Then the earth will give Thee glory
And the devil get the shame.
For Thy kingdom's rule and reigning
All will praise Thy glorious name.
8 Blessed days are quickly coming;
We rejoice and give Thee praise
For the glorious consummation
And Thy royal ruling days.
9 Hallelujah to the Father,
Hallelujah to the Son,
Hallelujah to the Spirit —
Hallelujah, it is done!
10 Hallelujah for the churches,
Hallelujah for the saints,
Hallelujah for the meetings
And their holy, sweet constraints!
11 Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Hallelujah we will sing;
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Hallelujah to our King!
