[Verse 1] From Amsterdam, a mighty sound, O'er every inch of life's domain! Kuyper said There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry 'Mine!' [Chorus] Heave ho, Kuyper, stand ye fast! For truth and faith until the last! Heave ho, spheres of sovereignty, God's claim on all eternally! [Verse 2] When principles ye hold so dear, Begin to fade and lose the day, Kuyper said When principles that run against your deepest convictions begin to win the day, then battle is your calling, and peace has become sin; you must, at the price of dearest peace, lay your convictions bare before friend and enemy, with all the fire of your faith! [Chorus] Heave ho, Kuyper, stand ye fast! For truth and faith until the last! Heave ho, spheres of sovereignty, God's claim on all eternally! [Verse 3] The Spirit works beyond the walls, Kuyper said The Holy Spirit works in the world; therefore, God's work is not limited to the church! And beauty calls, yes, beauty calls! Kuyper said Art is not profane, but sacred! Let joy resound! [Chorus] Heave ho, Kuyper, stand ye fast! For truth and faith until the last! Heave ho, spheres of sovereignty, God's claim on all eternally! [Verse 4] Don't hide away, don't retreat, Kuyper said Our position in the world must be one of engagement, not withdrawal! Make every sphere His work complete! [Chorus] Heave ho, Kuyper, stand ye fast! For truth and faith until the last! Heave ho, spheres of sovereignty, God's claim on all eternally!
