The Call of Yeshua

Ringing out from the blue heavens, from the deep seas breaking round;
Over everlasting mountains, where the echoing crags resound;

From the plains where heavy burdens, cut their trails into the earth -
Calls the Spirit of our Adonai, to give us a spiritual new birth.

At Yeshua’s call we shall not falter, firm and steadfast we shall stand,
At Yeshua’s call we will live or perish, because He lead us by the hand

In our body and our spirit, in our inmost heart held fast;
In the promise of our future and the glory of our past;

In our will, our work, our striving, from the cradle to the grave -
There's no god that shares our loving and no bond that can enslave.

Adonai, Thou hast borne us and we know Thee, may our deeds to all proclaim
Our enduring love and service to Thy honour and Thy Name.

In the golden warmth of summer, in the chill of winter's air,
In the surging life of springtime, in the autumn of despair;

When the wedding bells are chiming or when those we love do depart;
Thou do know us for Thy children and do take us to Thy heart.

Loudly peals the answering chorus; we are Thine and we shall stand,
Be it life or death, to answer to Thy call, my beloved Father that lead me by the hand.

In Thy power, almighty, trusting, did our fathers build of old;
Strengthen then O Adonai, our children to defend, to love, to hold -

That the heritage of Your Word for our children yet may be;
Bondsmen only of the Highest and before the whole world free.

As our fathers trusted humbly teach us Adonai, to trust Thee still;
Guard our lives and guide the Christian people in Thy way to do Thy will.

Amein.
