439. Make Me a Blessing

1 Thou hast summoned me into the vineyard, dear Lord,
Some good service to render each day;
I obey Thee, and haste to respond to Thy word;
Only make me a blessing, I pray.

Refrain:
I will go where Thou shalt call me to go;
I will stay where Thou biddest me stay.
I will seek, my dear Master, to do Thy sweet will;
Therefore make me a blessing, I pray.

2 Hands and heart are now ready to toil for Thee, Lord,
Speak to me, I will gladly obey;
I will cheerfully serve anywhere at Thy word;
Only make me a blessing, I pray. [Refrain]

3 So in body and spirit, dear Lord, I am Thine,
There to serve Thee, to go or to stay;
But where'er I am stationed this prayer is still mine,
Only make me a blessing, I pray. [Refrain]

4 Walk beside me to comfort and strengthen me, Lord,
And be near me to guide me alway;
I am ready to follow and serve at Thy word;
Only make me a blessing, I pray. [Refrain]
