Author: Calvin W. Laufer Hymnal: The Hymnbook #294 (1955) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Life in Christ Discipleship and Service First Line: We thank Thee, Lord, Thy paths of service lead Lyrics: 1 We thank Thee, Lord, Thy paths of service lead
To blazoned heights and down the slopes of need;
They reach Thy throne, encompass land and sea,
And he who journeys in them walks with Thee.
2 We've sought and found Thee in the secret place
And marveled at the radiance of Thy face;
But often in some far-off Galilee
Beheld Thee fairer yet while serving Thee.
3 We've felt Thy touch in sorrow's darkened way
Abound with love and solace for the day;
And, 'neath the burdens there, Thy sovereignty
Has held our hearts enthralled while serving Thee.
4 We've seen Thy glory like a mantle spread
O'er hill and dale in saffron flame and red;
But in the eyes of men, redeemed and free,
A splendor greater yet while serving Thee.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 25:40 Tune Title: FIELD
We Thank Thee, Lord
