To Christ’s service are,
Join together, join together,
Both in work and prayer;
Venture all on Him, our Lord,
Who assures us in His Word,
We are always, we are always
Objects of His care.
2 Showers of blessing, showers of blessing
From the Lord proceed,
Strength supplying, strength supplying
In the time of need;
For no servant of our King
Ever lacked anything,
He will never, he will never
Break the bruised reed.
3 Lord, have mercy, Lord, have mercy
One each land and place,
Where Thy servants, where Thy servants
Preach the word of grace;
Life and power on them bestow,
Them with needful strength endow,
That with boldness, that with boldness
They may Thee confess.
4 May we faithful, may we faithful
In our service be,
Truly careful, truly careful
In our ministry;
Keep us to Thy Church fast bound,
In the faith preserve us sound,
Often weeping, often weeping
Grateful tears ‘fore Thee. Topics: The Church's Life and Work The Ministry Used With Tune: SERVICE
