 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!
