Men are wanted, men of might,
Walking in the paths of light,
Men of purpose, men of power,
Fearless in the darkest hour.
Men of firmness, men so meek,
Who the Savior’s glory seek;
Men of wisdom, men upright,
Guiding foolish ones aright!
Men so righteous, men so kind
Seeking now to lead the blind.
Men of valor, men so brave,
Seizing hold of every slave.
Men of prayer, men so grave,
Used of God the lost to save;
Men of weeping, men who wait,
Watching still at Wisdom’s gate.
Men so ready, men alert,
Powers of darkness to avert.
Men of candor, men who dare
Every secret thing lay bare!
Men of boldness, men of heart,
Quenching every fiery dart.
Men of fervor, men who care
Claiming now the sinner’s ear;
Men of pity, men of love
Speaking of that Home above.
Men so faithful, temperate, too,
Seeking Satan’s overthrow;
Men of patience, free from blame.
Sounding out the Savior’s fame.
Men so gentle, men so mild,
Teaching e’en the smallest child;
Men so happy, men so glad,
Raise the drooping, cheer the sad.
Men so restful, men so calm,
Carry with them healing balm!
Men so gracious, men so true.
Bringing freshness as the dew,
Men of vigor, men of peace,
Speaking only of release;
Men of singing, men of joy,
Tell of love without alloy.
Men of heaven, not of earth,
Witness of celestial birth.

Armor clad to meet the foe?”

‘Master, here am I, send me,
“Let me but Thy glory see—
Transformation shall be mine,
I shall go in strength divine;
Fit me, fill me, bid me be
Just a witness here for Thee.
