Who will start for the kingdom tonight? Who’ll break away from the fetters so tight? Who will turn from his sin and woe, And to the Savior will trustingly go?

Heed ye his warnings and promises, too, Dare to do right, dare to do right; Join in the ranks of the humble and true, Start for the kingdom tonight.

Who will start for the kingdom tonight? Who’ll break away from the fetters so tight? Who will turn from his sin and woe, And to the Savior will trustingly go?
