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!
