Representative Text

1 Let my lips be used for Christ my King,
Let them tell the gospel story;
Let my lips His matchless praises sing,
For the glory of the Lord.

Refrain:
For the glory of the Lord,
For the honor of His Word,
I’ll be faithful, I’ll be loyal,
For the glory of the Lord.

2 Let my hands in earnest toil be spent,
In the service of love’s bidding;
Let them always be an instrument
For the glory of the Lord. [Refrain]

3 Let my feet in kindly aid, be sent,
Needed help to someone bringing;
Swift to follow ev’ry good intent,
For the glory of the Lord. [Refrain]
