Called to serve Him, heav'nly King of glory,
Chosen e'er to witness for his name,
Far and wide we tell the Father's story,
Far and wide his love proclaim.

(Chorus)

Onward, ever onward, as we glory in his name;
Onward, ever onward, as we glory in his name;
Forward, pressing forward, as a triumph song we sing.
God our strength will be; press forward ever,
Called to serve our King.

2.

Called to know the richness of his blessing
Sons and daughters, children of a King
Glad of heart, his holy name confessing,
Praises unto him we bring.

(Chorus)

3.

Called to serve an England London Mission,
Serving at the crossroads of the world.
In this lovely sovereign of cities
England has her heart unfurled.

Final Chorus:

Onward, ever onward, as we go the second mile,
Proud to be the flagship mission of the British Isles,
Forward, ever forward, as we magnify our call,
In the England London Mission we will give the Lord our all.
