Will you be an overcomer?
  Christ is calling now!
Will you then be such a follower,
  Though you know not how?
 
Will you be an overcomer?
  Will you make this choice?
Christ is calling, Christ is calling,
    Listen to His voice!
2
Will you be an overcomer?
  To the Lord be drawn!
Keep the “first love,” never leave it,
  Till the break of dawn.
3
Will you be an overcomer?
  On His life depend!
Dare to suffer persecution,
  Faithful to the end.
4
Will you be an overcomer?
  Testimony bear!
Keep away from false religion,
  “Hidden manna” share.
5
Will you be an overcomer,
  Simple, real, and pure?
Overcome all evil mixture,
  Ruling pow’r secure.
6
Will you be an overcomer?
  Trust the living Lord!
Keep your “garments” from the deadness,
  Win the life-reward.
7
Will you be an overcomer?
  Never lukewarm be,
Ne’er content with what you’ve gotten,
  More you need to see.
8
Will you be an overcomer?
  Christ is calling still!
Will you now be loyal to Him,
  His demand fulfill.

This hymn is a strong exhortation to heed the Spirit's speaking to the churches in Revelation 2:7:

"To him who overcomes, to him I will give to eat of the Tree of Life which is in the Paradise of God." We must overcome the degradation of the churches by eating the Tree of Life, that is to live in the mingled Spirit moment by moment.

Will you be an overcomer?

Never lukewarm be,

Ne’er content with what you’ve gotten,

More you need to see

Oh Lord! Save us from being lukewarm! Increase our hunger and thirst for You!

Little power claim.
