61. What Wilt Thou Have Me to Do?

1 What wilt Thou have me do, dear Lord?
Give me my mission I pray;
Then with new zeal and fresh courage, dear Lord,
I will with pleasure obey.

Refrain:
What wilt thou have me to do,
I will be faithful and true;
Give me Thy message just now I pray,
what wilt Thou have me to do.

2 Tho' it may lead me to paths untried,
Lead me to ways that are new,
Still knowing Jesus then will be my Guide,
What wilt Thou have me to do? [Refrain]

3 If I must read vales of sorrow deep,
Jesus hath trodden them too,
So I will pray even tho' I should weep,
What wilt thou have me to do? [Refrain]

4 Teach me thy will, blessed Lord, each day,
guide till life's journey is through,
And I will pray to Thee, Jesus, alway,
what wilt Thou have me to do? [Refrain]
