True evangelical faith cannot lie sleeping
For it clothes the naked
It comforts the sorrowful
It gives to the hungry, food
And it shelters the destitute
It cares for the blind and lame (it cares for the blind and lame)
The widow and orphan child (the widow and orphan child)
That's true evangelical faith (true evangelical faith)
True evangelical faith (true evangelical faith)
It binds up the wounded man (it binds up the wounded man)
It offers a gentle hand (it offers a gentle hand)
We must become everything to all men
True evangelical faith cannot lie sleeping
For it clothes the naked
It comforts the sorrowful
It gives to the hungry, food
And it shelters the destitute
Abundantly we have received (abundantly we have received)
And gratefully we will respond (and gratefully we will respond)
With true evangelical faith (true evangelical faith)
True evangelical faith (true evangelical faith)
So overcome evil with good (So overcome evil with good)
Return someone's hatred with love (return someone's hatred with love)
We must become everything to all men
True evangelical faith cannot lie sleeping
For it clothes the naked
It comforts the sorrowful
It gives to the hungry, food
And it shelters the destitute
