WHOM I SERVE by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL

First Line: JESUS, MASTER, WHOM I SERVE
Last Line: IN THY SERVICE GLAD AND FREE.
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST;

JESUS, Master, whom I serve,
Though so feebly and so ill,
Strengthen hand and heart and nerve
All Thy bidding to fulfil;
Open Thou mine eyes to see
All the work Thou hast for me.

Lord, Thou needest not, I know,
Service such as I can bring;
Yet I long to prove and show
Full allegiance to my King.
Thou an honor art to me,
Let me be a praise to Thee.

Jesus, Master! wilt Thou use
One who owes Thee more than all?
As thou wilt! I would not choose,
Only let me hear Thy call.
Jesus! let me always be
In Thy service glad and free.
