Author:Annie Matheson
Tune:[How shall we worship thee]
Composer:Grace Wilbur Conant

O36. How Shall We Worship Thee, O Lord?

1 How shall we worship thee, O Lord?
What shall we bring to thee, our King,
By children and by men adored?

Refrain:
More dear to thee than prayer or praise
Are loyal deeds and patient days,
These will we bring to thee, our King.

2 What shall we give? thou dost desire
A steadfast will, Obedient still,
And faithful work that does not tire. [Refrain]
