Give me an awakened heart Feet firmly planted in truth Clean eyes An eternal hunger For Your holiness Give me men who rise up Even when the ground trembles Who do not run from the battle But bow down to conquer Who do not tremble for vanities But for the shadow of error before You Who in the struggle against ego Say: No and die there Give me a nation That only fears Your word Nations with hearts burning To see You glorified Give me nations That only desire You Give me voices that proclaim Grace in the midst of the hurricane Hands marked by service Arms ready for forgiveness That refuse easy thrones That dispense with vain crowns That prefer Your law To the applause of people Give me lives that seek You Day and night Thirst and bread That worship You in Your presence And love You more than the very ground itself
