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.
