Christian Women, Christian Men

1.  *Christian women, Christian men,
    Have we ears to hear
    The crying of a homeless child
    Hungry and in fear?
    **In the name of Jesus, yes,
    We have ears to hear!
    In the name of Jesus, yes,
    We hear! We hear!

2.  *Down a grimy city street
    Have we eyes to see
    The faces of the aged and ill
    Lost in poverty?
    **In the name of Jesus, yes,
    We have eyes to see!
    In the name of Jesus, yes,
    We see! We see!

3.  *When Satanic gloom assails,
    Have we strength to hold
    The fortress of our living faith
    Till God's day dawns gold?
    **In the name of Jesus, yes,
    We have strength to hold!
    In the name of Jesus, yes,
    We hold! We hold!

4.  *Christian women, Christian men,
    Have we hearts to love
    Our neighbors as we love ourselves,
    Serving God above?
    **In the name of Jesus, yes,
    We have hearts to love!
    In the name of Jesus, yes,
    We love! We love!
