Leading them forth in ways of salvation,

O Jesus, King of kings!
Be Thou Thyself the answer
To all my questionings;
Live out Thy life within me,
In all things have Thy way!
I, the transparent medium
Thy glory to display.

And purified of sin;
Let Thy Shekinah glory
Now shine forth from within,
And all the earth keep silence,
The body henceforth be
Thy silent, gentle servant,
Moved only as by Thee,
3 Its members ev'ry moment
Held subject to Thy call,
Ready to have Thee use them,
Or not be used at all;
Held without restless longing,
Or strain, or stress, or fret,
Or chafings at Thy dealings,
Or tho'ts of vain regret;
4 But restful, calm and pliant,
From bend and bias free,
Awaiting Thy decision,
When thou hast need of me.
Live out Thy life within me,
O Jesus, King of kings!
Be Thou the glorious answer
To all my questionings.

Hope shall change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Used With Tune: ELLESIDE

The world can never fill.

Help me to tear it from thy throne,
And worship only thee. Used With Tune: MANOAH
