Lyrics

We have heard Thy call, Lord Je­sus,
And our hearts re­spond with joy;
We will pledge Thee our al­le­giance,
For Thy cause our all em­ploy.

Refrain

The youth of the world
For the Man of Ga­li­lee!
The youth of the world
From all sin and self set free!
Every tal­ent pledged in serv­ice
Now and through eter­ni­ty,
The youth of the world
For the Man of Ga­li­lee!

Wheresoe’er Thy chal­lenge leads us,
Whatsoe’er shall be the test,
Only make it known, dear Mas­ter,
And we pro­mise Thee our best.

Refrain

Every tal­ent Thou hast giv­en
Not for hid­ing, but for use;
All our time is of Thy lend­ing
To be spent as Thou shalt choose.

Refrain

Whatsoe’er we are or have, Lord,
Shall be sub­ject to Thy will;
Trust us with Thy great­est task, Lord,
And with pride our hearts shall thrill.
