I’ll Go Where You Want Me to Go

Author: Mary Brown, 1856–1918 Appears in 464 hymnals Topics: Special Topics First Line: It may not be on the mountain height Refrain First Line: I’ll go where you want me to go, dear Lord Lyrics: 1. It may not be on the mountain height Or over the stormy sea, It may not be at the battle’s front My Lord will have need of me. But if, by a still, small voice he calls To paths that I do not know, I’ll answer, dear Lord, with my hand in thine: I’ll go where you want me to go. [Chorus:] I’ll go where you want me to go, dear Lord, Over mountain or plain or sea; I’ll say what you want me to say, dear Lord; I’ll be what you want me to be. 2. Perhaps today there are loving words Which Jesus would have me speak; There may be now in the paths of sin Some wand’rer whom I should seek. O Savior, if thou wilt be my guide, Tho dark and rugged the way, My voice shall echo the message sweet: I’ll say what you want me to say. [Chorus] 3. There’s surely somewhere a lowly place In earth’s harvest fields so wide Where I may labor through life’s short day For Jesus, the Crucified. So trusting my all to thy tender care, And knowing thou lovest me, I’ll do thy will with a heart sincere: I’ll be what you want me to be. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [It may not be on the mountain height]

Oh, that each in the day of His coming may say, “I have fought my way thru; I have finished the work thou didst give me to do.” Oh, that each from his Lord may receive the glad word: “Well and faithfully done; Enter into my joy and sit down on my throne; Enter into my joy and sit down on my throne.” Scripture: 2 Timothy 4:7-8 Used With Tune: [Come, let us anew our journey pursue]
