1 Let's take the land! The land that God has given us;

In all our living, Christ can be so much;

To take this land, we have th' equipment that we need —

The blood, the Word, the Spirit, and the church.

Sisters sing

Let's take the land! O Christian brothers,

The land that God has given us.

Be strong and take it, for we can make it

And gain this land so glorious!

Brothers sing

Let's take the land! O Christian sisters,

And to these things give earnest heed.

The Lord implores us; He's gone before us

And given everything we need!

2 We have the blood! Christ is our spotless offering,

Who gave Himself, our God to satisfy;

And so we come with boldness to the throne of grace,

And all day long, the precious blood apply.

Sisters sing

Let's take the land! O Christian brothers,

The land that God has given us.

Be strong and take it, for we can make it

And gain this land so glorious!

Brothers sing

Let's take the land! O Christian sisters,

And to these things give earnest heed.

The Lord implores us; He's gone before us

And given everything we need!

3 We have the Word! The written Word's our daily food;

We mix this Word with faith and say "Amen!"

Then thro' the day, the spoken Word will speak to us

And regulate our living from within.

Sisters sing

Let's take the land! O Christian brothers,

The land that God has given us.

Be strong and take it, for we can make it

And gain this land so glorious!

Brothers sing

Let's take the land! O Christian sisters,

And to these things give earnest heed.

The Lord implores us; He's gone before us

And given everything we need!

4 The Spirit's ours! The Spirit of reality,

He's independent of the way we feel;

He dwells in us, and teaches us to dwell in Him,

And guides us into everything that's real.

Sisters sing

Let's take the land! O Christian brothers,

The land that God has given us.

Be strong and take it, for we can make it

And gain this land so glorious!

Brothers sing

Let's take the land! O Christian sisters,

And to these things give earnest heed.

The Lord implores us; He's gone before us

And given everything we need!

5 We have the church! All saints are needed to possess

The fullness of this vast reality;

Together we will gain this all-inclusive Christ,

And He to us our everything will be.

Sisters sing

Let's take the land! O Christian brothers,

The land that God has given us.

Be strong and take it, for we can make it

And gain this land so glorious!

Brothers sing

Let's take the land! O Christian sisters,

And to these things give earnest heed.

The Lord implores us; He's gone before us

And given everything we need!
