Lyrics

Lord, whose love in humble service

Bore the weight of human need,

Who upon the cross, forsaken,

Worked Your mercy’s perfect deed:

We, Your servants, bring the worship

Not of voice alone, but heart;

Consecrating to Your purpose

Every gift which You impart.

Still Your children wander homeless;

Still the hungry cry for bread;

Still the captives long for freedom;

Still in grief we mourn our dead.

As you, Lord, in deep compassion

Healed the sick and freed the soul,

By Your Spirit send Your power

To our world to make it whole.

As we worship, grant us vision,

Till your love’s revealing light

In its height and depth and greatness

Dawns upon our quickened sight,

Making known the needs and burdens

Your compassion bids us bear,

Stirring us to ardent service,

Your abundant life to share.
