From the depths of sin and fail­ure,
From des­pair as black as night,
Lord, we hear our bro­thers call­ing
For de­liv­er­ance and for light.

Refrain

Use us, Lord, to speed Thy king­dom;
Through us may Thy will be done;
Give us eyes to see the vi­sion
Of a world re­deemed and won.

By the love that bore in si­lence
Man’s con­tempt and Sa­tan’s dart;
By the long­ing for the lost ones
That con­sumes the Sav­ior’s heart;

Refrain

By the Sav­ior’s blood that bought us,
By the peace His mer­its bring,
By the Spir­it that con­strains us
Now on earth to crown Him king;
