The Cyber Hymnal ‎#5435

5435. O Thou Who Hast Thy Servants Taught

1. O Thou who hast Thy servants taught
That not by words alone,
But by the fruits of holiness,
The life of God is shown.

2. While in the house of prayer we meet
And call Thee God and Lord,
Give us a heart to follow Thee,
Obedient to Thy Word.

3. When we our voices lift in praise,
Give Thou us grace to bring,
An offering of unfeigned thanks,
And with the spirit sing.

4. And, in the dangerous path of life,
Uphold us as we go;
That with our lips and in our lives
Thy glory we may show.
