Lynch Appears in 23 hymnals Topics: Activity; Activity Lyrics: 1 Dismiss me not thy service, Lord, But train me for thy will; For even I, in fields so broad, Some duties may fulfill; And I will ask for no reward, Except to serve thee still. 2 How many serve, how many more May to the service come! To tend the vines, the grapes to store, Thou dost appoint for some: Thou hast thy young men at the war, Thy little ones at home. 3 All works are good, and each is best As most it pleases thee; Each worker pleases when the rest He serves in charity; And neither man nor work unblest, Wilt thou permit to be. 4 Our Master all the work hath done He asks of us to-day; Sharing his service, every one Share too his sonship may; Lord, I would serve and be a son: Dismiss me not, I pray.

Unheeding thirst or hunger, Who still from day to day, Will seek, as for a treasure, The sheep that go astray?
