Author: Walter J. Mathams Hymnal: Worship and Song. (Rev. ed.) #142 (1921) First Line: From this blest hour, Lord Christ, I would be thine Lyrics: 1 From this blest hour, Lord Christ, I would be thine,
A lowly servant of the Will Divine;
With this one prayer, that my endeavor be,
At every step I take to follow thee.
2 With body, soul, and spirit thine alone,
I would be names and numbered with thine own,
And wear the fair white honor of thy name
Without reproach of sin or sense of shame.
3 Be with me on this high and holy ground,
Where nobler souls than mine thy grace have found;
Be with me, as with them that even I
May live as bravely, and as calmly die.
4 Be with me that thy Church may see and know
I seek her welfare, wheresoe’er I go;
Be with me, that the world itself may see
The glory and the bliss of serving thee. Tune Title: LANGRAN
