Bear the cup of loving service,
Sons and daughters of the King;
Water from the living fountain
To the faint and thirsty bring;
Tended in His loving spirit,
Blessed will the mission be;
E’en the smallest cup that’s offered,
Christ, our gracious Lord, will see.
Bear the cup of loving service,
To the weary and the sad;
For the draught held out to others
Makes the giver more than glad:
So ‘twill yield a double blessing
Waking sweetest chords of praise,
While we strive to follow Jesus
In His pleasant, peaceful ways.
Bear the cup of loving service,
List’ning for the Master’s voice;
Ready always for His errands,
In the blessed work rejoice,
Yes, we know, for He hath told us—
And His word is still the same—
He will bless the cup of water
Humbly offered in His name.
