I would

I would be of use to Thee;
Every day;
Nothing world­ly shall en­thrall me;
I would be pure, for there are those who care;
My Re­deem­er and my king:
In His sweet pre­sence abide,
Nothing worldly shall enthrall me,
Gentle and lov­ing, trust­ing Thy word;
Where the flow­ers are bloom­ing
Where the flowers are blooming and the sweet waters flow;
I would not be de­nied,
Guilt has un­tuned my voice;
Day by day of His com­pas­sion
Choose and cher­ish all things good;
By day, by night, at home, abroad,
And I’m sure that you
Here am I; send me!
Ringing, ring­ing for Je­sus;
I en­dea­vored to be hap­py
I en­dea­vored to be hap­py
