My Life, Dear Lord, I Give to Thee

 

VERSE 1

My life, dear Lord, I give to Thee

In humble faith and loyalty,

To be Thine own in what is planned,

And heed with joy Thy love’s command.

 

VERSE 2

Show me the trails that turn and climb

Through lonely deeps to heights sublime,

Yet never lose their touch with life,

Its endless round of peace and strife.

 

VERSE 3

I pray for tasks that ease the load

On other hearts along the road;

And love forgiving, patient, tried,

To quicken faith and hope beside.

 

VERSE 4

Gird me with light whose rays and heat

Shall blaze a path to Thy blest seat,

That halting steps, no more afraid,

May reach the goals for which they’ve prayed.

 

VERSE 5

O grant me grace to serve with Thee

In love unfailing, pure, and free;

Guide me in trails which few have trod,

Whose winding ways lead home to God.
