Music: Tullius C. O’Kane (🔊 pdf nwc).
Make me a worker for Jesus,
Steadfast and earnest and true;
Willing to work for the Master,
What He would have me to do!
Refrain
Make me a worker for Jesus,
Humble my labor may be,
But cheerfully done for the Master,
Who hath done great things for me.
Let me be brave in the conflict,
Ready to go where He needs,
Sowing good seed for the harvest—
Plucking up briars and weeds.
Refrain
Let me go out to the harvest
Faithfully doing my part,
Gathering sheaves for the gleaning,
Steadfast of purpose and heart.
Refrain
Make me a worker for Jesus,
Trusting Him never in vain,
Glad if I bind for the Master,
Sheaves of God’s beautiful grain.
