For Christ is our en­dea­vor,
Our hearts to Him be­long;
His pre­sence cheers us ev­er,
His love in­spires our song;
We come in youth’s bright morn­ing,
Obedient to His Word;
And seek for our ad­orn­ing,
The beau­ty of the Lord:
And seek for our ad­orn­ing,
The beau­ty of the Lord.

In full­ness of His mer­cy,
Good work for Him we do;
His name with joy con­fess­ing,
His stand­ard bear­ers true:
And He will nev­er fail us,
Whatever may be­tide;
Tho’ dan­ger should as­sail us,
In Him we safe ab­ide:
Tho’ dan­ger should as­sail us,
In Him we safe ab­ide.

So with youth’s ar­dor glow­ing,
We will­ing serv­ice give;
The mind of Je­sus know­ing,
We for His hon­or live:
For He is our en­dea­vor,
And to Him we be­long;
Whose grace shall nev­er fail us,
Whose love in­spires our song:
Whose grace shall nev­er fail us,
Whose love in­spires our song.
