Lord, Whose Love Through Humble Service
O Master, Let Me Walk with Thee
Author: Washington Gladden Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 573 hymnals Topics: Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1. O Master, let me walk with thee
in lowly paths of service free;
tell me thy secret; help me bear
the strain of toil, the fret of care.
2. Help me the slow of heart to move
by some clear, winning word of love;
teach me the wayward feet to stay,
and guide them in the homeward way.
3. Teach me thy patience; still with thee
in closer, dearer company,
in work that keeps faith sweet and strong,
in trust that triumphs over wrong;
4. In hope that sends a shining ray
far down the future's broadening way,
in peace that only thou canst give,
with thee, O Master, let me live.

3 Lord, I would clasp thy hand in mine,
nor ever murmur nor repine,
content, whatever lot I see,
since 'tis my God that leadeth me. [Refrain]

when by thy grace, the victory's won,
even death's cold wave I will not flee,
since God through Jordan leadeth me. [Refrain] Used With Tune: HE LEADETH ME

LIVING GOD
We thank thee, Lord, Thy paths of service lead
Author: Rev. Calvin W. Laufer Hymnal: The Hymnal #367 (1950) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Discipleship and Service; Discipleship and Service 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. Tune Title: FIELD
We thank thee, Lord, Thy paths of service lead

Speak to our fearful hearts by conflict rent.
Save us, Thy people, from consuming passion,
Who by our own false hopes and aims are spent.
2 Hope of the world, God's Gift from highest heaven,
Bringing to hungry souls the bread of life,
Still let Thy Spirit unto us be given
To heal earth's wounds and end her bitter strife.
3 Hope of the world, afoot on dusty highways,
Showing to wandering souls the path of light;
Walk Thou beside us lest the tempting byways
Lure us away from Thee to endless night.
4 Hope of the world, who by Thy cross didst save us
From death and dark despair, from sin and guilt;
We render back the love Thy mercy gave us;
Take Thou our lives and use them as Thou wilt.
5 Hope of the world, O Christ, o'er death victorious,
Who by this sign didst conquer grief and pain,
We would be faithful to Thy gospel glorious:
Thou art our Lord! Thou dost forever reign!
Amen. Scripture: John 6:35 Tune Title: DONNE SECOURS
