For Us and These – Amy Carmichael
Christ our Captain, hear our prayer: Warriors we ask of Thee, Comrades who shall everywhere Stand for love and loyalty; Servants who with souls aflame, Kindled from Thine altar fire, Live to magnify Thy name, Live to meet Thy least desire; Lovers who in love abide In the Secret Place of rest, Yielded to be crucified That Thy life be manifest; Laborers who joyfully Choose rewards unseen today. Cause us, o our Lord, to be Like to these for whom we pray.
