23. 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 milions 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.

2.

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, heart-stirring vision, Open my eyes, Lord, today; Show me the sighing, doomed and the dying, Give me a vision, I pray.

3.

Give me a vision, Lord divine, so charg'd with power that it shall shine Out to the lost in deepest night, wand'ring alone in their sad, sad plight.

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.

4.

Give me a vision, Lord divine, without a limit or bound'ry line; Help me to see a world in sin, not just the field I am working in.

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.
