Little Service Hymn

In glad obe­di­ence to Thy call

We seek Thee

gra­cious Lord;

To know Thy will

to serve Thy cause

Our ea­ger hearts are stirred;

Speak to us by Thy Spir­it

As to Thy seers of old;

May we from Thee true wis­dom gain

Our will­ing minds to mold.

The place where Thou wouldst have us serve

The work that we should do

To build the king­dom of Thy Son

Bring clear­ly to our view;

Then may our in­most spir­it

Respond un­to Thy will

And as we walk where Thou dost guide

O be Thou with us still.

The life and pow’rs Thou gav­est us

We de­di­cate to­day;

The gift we on the al­tar place

Accept

O Lord

we pray;

And when the life we give Thee

Its earth­ly task has done

Receive and crown us

Lord

with­in

The king­dom Christ has won.
