1 ‘Mid the throng in which I’m daily living
There must be one who needs a tender word;
Be it mine, the holy joy of giving
That token in the name of Christ, my Lord.

Refrain:
Give me, O Lord, a loving heart
That reaches out to touch a soul with love divine,
His burden bear, His sorrow share;
Give me a loving heart, dear Lord, like Thine.

2 Loving hearts that beat in happy union
With those who need a message from above,
Are not gained except from sweet communion
With Him whose heart still overflows with love. [Refrain]

3 High and low may seek and surely find Him;
He travels best who journeys with the Lord,
Blest the bonds that to the Saviour bind Him
As they together walk in one accord. [Refrain]
