We are for the great migration,
|
|
| 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! |
