Lyrics

Teach my lit­tle hands and feet,
Useful, Lord, to be,
Tell me some­thing I can do—
Every day for Thee.

Refrain

Keep me Thine, keep me Thine,
Blessèd Sav­ior, keep me Thine.
Keep me Thine, keep me Thine,
Blessèd Sav­ior, keep me Thine.

Teach my tongue a word to speak,
Gentle, soft and low,
Make me like a beam of light
Everywhere I go.

Refrain

Teach me how to love Thy Word,
Love it more and more;
Help me Lord, to work for Thee,
Till my life is o’er.
