Representative Text

1 Lord, let my eyes be quick to see,
A wayward one by sin distrest,
And help me bring that soul to Thee,
To dwell in peace and perfect rest.

Refrain:
Lord, I am willing ever to be,
Useful in service only for Thee;
So take and use me, imperfect still,
Save as I strive to follow Thy will.

2 Lord, let my ears be keen to hear,
The cry of those in woe or pain,
And speak a word of hope and cheer,
To lift them up to joy again. [Refrain]

3 My strong desire is not that I
May merit words of praise from men,
But rather please my Lord, and try
To bring lost souls to Him again. [Refrain]
