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.
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.
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.
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.
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
