85. Hearts to Do Thy Bidding

1 What shall be the tribute that today we bring
To our loving Father that he most will prize?
What have we to offer this Redeemer King?—
O a heart of love is precious in his eyes.

Refrain:
Loving Father, take the gifts we bring,—
Earnest hearts and loyal to the King!
Help us live for others as for thee,
Till we sing thy praises in eternity.

2 Just a heart that loves him, and is glad to do
Something for the Master, tho’ the deed be small,
Loyal, willing, loving, all life’s journey thro’,
Just a heart that loves and trusts him all in all. [Refrain]

3 Bring we each our off’ring to the King, and say,—
Take this heart, my Father, full of love for thee;
Mould it to thy purpose in thine own good way;
Make our lives what thou wouldst have them, Lord, to be. [Refrain]
