ENDUE US WITH POWER

ENDUE US WITH POWER, OH, ENDUE US WITH POWER,
QUICKLY, LORD, QUICKLY, SO LATE IS THE HOUR;
DARKNESS O'ER ALL THE EARTH FALLS LIKE A PALL,
MULTITUDES, HUNGERING, EARNESTLY CALL;
SHALL WE BE STAYED BY OUR PLEASURES OR CARE
FROM GIVING THE WARNING THEIR SOULS TO PREPARE?

ENDUE US WITH POWER---WE ARE COLD LIKE THE DEAD;
O FILL US WITH FIRE FROM THINE ALTAR INSTEAD;
MAY WE BURN; MAY WE SHINE; MAY WE GLOW WITH A ZEAL,
A PASSION FOR SOULS THAT IS TRUE, THAT IS REAL;
ENDUE US WITH POWER---WE ARE WAITING, WE WAIT,
QUICKLY, LORD, QUICKLY, THE HOUR IS LATE.

----MARGARET W. LOCKE
