give me a vision

Give me a vision, Lord, I plead,

vision of souls and a world in need:

loved ones and friends, the one next

door,

then let me see there are millions more.




Give me a vision,

heart-stirring vision,

open my eyes, Lord, today;

show me the sighing,

doomed and the dying,

give me a vision, I pray.




Give me a vision, Lord divine,

kindle with fire this cold heart of mine;

may with unselfishness it burn,

fill me with love and a deep concern.




Give me a vision, Lord divine,

so charged with power that it shall shine

out to the lost in deepest night,

wandering alone in their sad, sad plight.



Give me a vision, Lord divine,

without a limit or boundary line;

help me to see a world in sin,

not just the field I am working in
