One Gospel true, of Jesus Christ the Saviour,
who died to save the fallen human race;
one Gospel true, restoring to God's favour,
renewing from within the hardened life;
one Gospel true, for plighted life's deliv'rance,
who turns in faith and trust to God again -
O Saviour, who for us has died,
who seeks to make the broken new,
fire with your love who faith in you profess -
your Word to speak and point to you!
One task is ours - by God himself commissioned
to show the world what God the Lord has done;
one task is ours - the love of Christ constraining
to call folk back to God their source of life;
one task is ours - the Spirit's might enabling
to lead them to receive the Father's Son -
O Spirit, witnessing to Christ,
who strives in us and shows our need,
fire with your love who faith in you profess -
victorious in your name indeed!
