Representative Text

1 Dear Lord, I own that I am weak,
From sin I ne’er am free;
But when Thou hast lost lambs to seek,
I pray Thee, Lord, send me.

Refrain:
Lord, send me; Lord, send me;
O touch my tongue with fire d­ivine;
Lord, send me.

2 In earth­en ves­sels shall Thy name
Be car­ried to the lost;
Then let me go, I pray, dear Lord,
I will not count the cost. [Refrain]

3 Before me are the sha­dows deep,
The val­ley and the gloom,
But ev­en there the Lord will keep
And lead me safe­ly home. [Refrain]
