1 Service is our watchword,
Service for our king;
Service, fruitful service,
Daily ours to bring.
Service for the needy,
Service for the lost,
Self upon the altar;
Counting not the cost.
2 Service in the homeland
Where’er sounds the call;
Sacrificial service
Reaching unto all;
Service pure, exalted;
Loyal and unpriced;
Living, loving channels,
Bearing forth the Christ.
3 Service o’er the ocean,
Serving not for gain;
Meeting every duty,
Be it toil or pain;
Service that is Christly,
Giving up to God
Every selfish motive;
Treading where Christ trod.
