Shines mirrored in the face of Jesus Christ,
Who by His perfect life of love and labor
And in His perfect death was sacrificed.
2 Father, we dare, by our great Brother bidden,
Take up the cross and humbly fo1low Him:
Send out Thy light and truth that they may lead us;
Show us the way amid the darkness dim.
3 Here we present ourselves, our souls and bodies,
Strengthened with bread, the food of every man,
Ready to love and work, but yet confessing
Lonely we cannot, by His grace we can.
4 Friends at His table, priests around His altar,
Soldiers of Christ, disciples of Thy Son,
Father we stand, prepared to do Thy bidding;
Come, God's own Kingdom, and God's will be done.
Amen. Topics: Commitment; Discipleship; Life in Christ Discipleship and Service Scripture: Psalm 43:3 Used With Tune: DONNE SECOURS
