How oft I prayed for pow­er,
And tar­ried by the way;
I want­ed some great bless­ing
To use each bu­sy day.

Refrain

But now He us­es me,
Praise God, He uses me;
The bless­èd Ho­ly Spi­rit
Uses me, ev­en me;
But now He us­es me,
Praise God, He us­es me;
The bless­èd Ho­ly Spi­rit uses me.

I did not get the bless­ing
Until the Bless­er came;
Nor was I fit for ser­vice
Till filled with love’s warm flame.

Refrain

Today my rich­est bless­ing
Is do­ing His sweet word;
My high­est joy each mo­ment
Is to be used of God.
