SS&S Hymn #1109: Oh let us all endeavour

Complete lyrics, stanzas, and pipe organ accompaniment • Sacred Songs & Solos

1
Oh, let us all endeavour, with all our heart and might,
To serve our Lord and Master, and in His work delight;
Remembering that service must come before reward;
That joy must flow from doing the Father’s will and word.
For Christ . . and the Church . . our all, O Lord, we give!
For Christ . . . and the Church, . . oh, may we ever live!
2
Oh, let us all endeavour the world for Christ to win;
To search the streets and highways for souls to save from sin;
To send the blessed tidings to all the world around,
Till every race and nation shall hear the joyful sound.
3
Oh, let us all endeavour the Church of Christ to build,
Be faithful in its service, our all for it to yield;
Its ordinances follow, its means of grace attend;
Thus grow in Christlike power until our life shall end.
