Lyrics

As God's picked representatives of the new humanity, Purified and beloved of him, As God's picked representatives of the new humanity, Purified and beloved of him:

Be merciful in action, Be kindly in heart, Be humble in mind, And above everything else, Be loving, be truly loving.

As God's picked representatives of the new humanity, Purified and beloved of him.

Lyrics

In the pow'r of the Spirit a new race shall arise, With the beauty of Jesus all ablaze in their eyes. And a garden shall flourish where the desert has been, And the plan of creation be no longer a dream.

With the beauty of Jesus all ablaze in their eyes, In the pow'r of the Spirit a new race shall arise! With the beauty of Jesus all ablaze in their eyes, In the pow'r of the Spirit a new race shall arise!

In the pow'r of the Spirit a new race shall arise, They'll be gen'rous and gentle, they'll be winsome and wise. They'll be something like Jesus in compassion and grace, And the cost of their calling they will gladly embrace.

And transfigured men shall transform the earth; Build a better world; bring the second birth; People prize again what is pure and true, And the world of men shall be made anew!

In the pow'r of the Spirit a new race shall arise, They'll make friends of the people other people despise. And with truth they shall triumph over all that is wrong, And the plan of redemption is the theme of their song.

Lyrics

We've gotta be everybody's servant, At everyone's beck and call. The sick, the sad, the good, the bad, We're servants of all. We've gotta be everybody's servant, The servant of great and small. Will come, will go, run to and fro, We're servants, that's all!

We've gotta be everybody's servant, Whoever their god may be. The black, the white, the not so bright, We're servants, you see. We've gotta be everybody's servant, And not make the slightest fuss. Go with a smile, the extra mile, Your servants, that's us.

We'll work our fingers to the bone, We'll mail the mail, we'll telephone, We'll make their meals, we'll do the chores, We'll wash the clothes and scrub the floors. We'll help the homeless in their plight, And offer lodging day and night, We'll bandage wounds, go round the shops, We'll serve our coffee to the cops.

And when our knees begin to quake, And when our backs begin to ache, Remember it's for Jesus' sake, The servant of all.

We've gotta be everybody's servant To people of ev'ry kind. Some may be cranks, they won't say 'thanks', But servants don't mind. We've gotta be everybody's servant, At ev'ryone's beck and call. Make no mistake, for Jesus' sake. We're servants of all.

We've gotta be everybody's servant To people of ev'ry kind. Some may be cranks, they won't say 'thanks', But servants don't mind. We've gotta be everybody's servant, At ev'ryone's beck and call. Make no mistake, for Jesus' sake. We're servants of all.

Salvation Army Song Book (2015) No. 935

There are people hurting in the world out there. They need you, they need me, they need Christ. There are children crying and no one to care. They need you, they need me, they need Christ. And they'll go on hurting in the world out there, And they'll go on dying, drowning in despair, And they'll go on crying, that's unless we care! They need you, they need me, they need Christ.

There are people living who would rather die. They need you, they need me, they need Christ. And their Christian neighbours simply pass them by! They need you, they need me, they need Christ. There are people sitting by a silent phone, People cold and hungry, people left alone, Suicides for reasons that remain unknown. They need you, they need me, they need Christ.

There's the prostitute, and there's the pris'ner too. They need you, they need me, they need Christ. There's the skid row fella who won't look at you. They need you, they need me, they need Christ. The compulsive gambler dreaming of his yacht, And the lad that's stealing just to get his ‘shot', And the girl that's pregnant and pretends she's not. They need you, they need me, they need Christ.

There are runaways who want a place to go. They need you, they need me, they need Christ. There are alcoholics who don't seem to know… They need you, they need me, they need Christ. There are godless people who have lost their way, And they need God's love but they're afraid to say. If we close our eyes perhaps they'll go away Without you, without me, without Christ.

Lyrics

We're going to serve this modern age and in a modern kind of way, Old-fashioned things are not all bad, but you'll agree they've had their day! Let's have the best equipment for efficiency, Throw out the sweet old-fashioned, and make room for me. We're going to serve this modern age, the modern way is much more fun, We'll build a world, a brave new world, the revolution's just begun!

We're going to serve this modern age and in a modern kind of way, Old may be down but never out, but you can give a helping hand, We'll build the biggest buildings, hire the brightest staff, Bringing the huddled masses, make the people laugh. We're going to serve this modern age, the hungry man is going to eat, The lonely man will find a friend, the drunken man will find his feet.

We need more specialists, bring on the folk who know, Release technology, and let her go go go, Let Christianity be what it might have been, Become at last a splendid, sparkling miracle machine!

We are going to serve this modern age, in novel ways with novel tools, And if we must, to serve the most, we'll break the mould, we'll bend the rules, I'm going to serve the thousands, not the ones and twos, And any modern method is the one we'll use, We're going to serve the modern age and meet the needs of every man, Do all the good in all the ways to all the people that we can.

We're going to serve this modern age, use all our strength and all our skill, And shake the hand and slap the back of anyone who pays the bill, The wealthy ones will welcome how they make a fuss, To get their pictures taken with the likes of us. We're going to serve this modern age, in every land, in every state, And soon the poor will think we're good, and soon the rich will think we're great.

We need more specialists, bring on the folk who know, Release technology, and let her go go go, Let Christianity be what it might have been, Become at last a splendid, sparkling miracle machine!

Lyrics

Salvation Army Song Book (2015) No. 649

If crosses come, if it should cost me dearly To be the servant of my Servant Lord; If darkness falls around the path of duty, And men despise the Saviour I've adored:

I'll not turn back, whatever it may cost; I'm called to live to love and save the lost. I'll not turn back, whatever it may cost; I'm called to live to love and save the lost.

If doors should close then other doors will open, The Word of God can never be contained. His love cannot be finally frustrated, By narrow minds or prison bars restrained.

If tears should fall, if I am called to suffer, If all I love men should deface, defame, I'll not deny the One that I have followed, Nor be ashamed to bear my Master's name.

Lyrics

He said love one another, that means serve one another, Every man here's your brother in this special kind of way. We must love one another, and accept one another, Learn respect for each other, that's the Master's way.

In the family of Jesus there are all kinds of children, Some are good, some are gracious, someone are learning what grace is. Some are kind, some are gentle, some are less than attractive, But they love one another, yes they love one another, so we know they are his.

There are short ones and tall ones, there are big ones and small ones, There are bright ones and dull ones, one or two are rather dim, There are black ones and white ones, there are rich ones and poor ones, But they all love each other, but they all love each other, so they must belong to him.

Love is patient and gentle, love is kind and forgiving, And will never keep records of the hurt that it receives, Love is humble and selfless, never jealous or cruel, And when day starts to falter, and when day starts to falter, love will show it still believes.

Lyrics

Master! We call you Master! Become the Master of us all. Master! We call you Master! And at your feet in worship fall. Control our living, direct our thinking, We'll always answer when you call. Master! We call you Master! Become the Master, Become the Master of us all!

Servants! Call us your servants! No higher title could we seek. Servants! Call us your servants! Although unworthy, wayward and weak. Our best is nothing, our all is nothing, Saviour divine - sublime, unique. Servants! Call us your servants! No higher title, No higher title could we seek.

Others! We'll live for others! The cares of others making our own. Others! We'll live for others! Our selfish planning gladly disown. In your name giving, in your name living To make your love and mercy known. Others! We'll live for others! The cares of others, The cares of others making our own.

Lyrics

He has chosen me, I have heard his call; I'll take up my cross, I will give my all. I know he'll supply everything I lack, If I follow him, if I follow him, Holding nothing back.

He has chosen me? Then I shall not fear; When I need him most, I shall know he's near. And his will for me is his own affair; While I walk his way, while I walk his way, I am in his care.

He has chosen me, though it seems absurd, To protect the poor, to proclaim his word; His ambassador to the world below, Where the Master sends, where the Master sends I'll be glad to go.

He has chosen me? Then I dare not ask, To be reassigned to a lesser task. When the way is dark and I cannot see, I'll remember then, I'll remember then, He has chosen me!
