Representative Text

1
O Lord above,
In boundless love,
Please teach my heart to give,
Not counting cost,
Nor fearing loss,
But serving while I live.

2
When battle calls,
Though weakness falls,
Still help me stand and fight,
Through wounds and pain,
No thought of gain,
But striving for the right.

3
Though labor’s load
Be rough the road,
Let me not seek for rest,
Nor seek reward,
But serve you, Lord,
And know Your will is best.

4
So let me be,
In heart and knee,
Obedient to Your call,
To love, to give,
In You to live,
My God, my all in all.
