O Christ, I Will Endeavor

O Christ, I will endeavor

Author: H. T. Mark
Tune: LYMINGTON
Published in 1 hymnal

Representative Text

1. O Christ, I will endeavor
To serve Thee day by day;
Help me to make Thee ever
My Life, my Truth, my Way.
When in my breast Thou burnest,
My thot's grow pure and bright,
My words are calm and earnest,
And all seems good and right.

2. Go with me, God my Saviour,
Go with me ev'ry hour;
Control my whole behavior
By Thy full Spirit's pow'r.
Uplift, and heal, and gladden,
Myself and others, Lord;
May nought that's in me sadden
Those here that love Thy word.

3. Why should I not be willing
To serve Thee with my days,
When Thou art ever filling
My soul with joy and praise?
Why should I not show others
The Light divine in Thee?
Why should not all my brothers
See what Thou art to me?
