Lyrics

These hands of mine I bring Thee, Lord,
Fill them with hum­blest work for Thee;
These feet, oh guide them in the paths
That Thou shalt choose for them and me.

Refrain

Accept my ser­vice, Lord!
Accept this heart of mine.
Lo! at Thy feet, I hum­bly pray,
Thou’lt make me on­ly Thine.

These eyes to scan Thy han­di­work,
And read the love re­flect­ed there;
These ears to hear the mes­sage sweet
Which whis­pers of the Fa­ther’s care.

Refrain

These lips, dear Mas­ter, do I bring
For Thee to touch and tune­ful make;
My thoughts, Lord, con­se­crate e’en these
To lov­ing ser­vice for Thy sake.

Refrain

Thus heart and soul, dear Lord, I bring,
And hum­bly pray Thee to re­new
With each day’s needs the strength and grace,
To ren­der faith­ful ser­vice true.
