1 Thou dost call to service,
Jesus, we will heed;
Lead Thou, we will follow,
Faith begetting deed.
Fill us with Thy Spirit,
With Thy love and might,
Let our whole endeavor,
Be for truth and right.
Refrain:
We are Thy disciples,
Loyal we would be;
Keep us in our service,
Master, true to Thee.
2 Heavy hearts around us
Need our help and cheer,
Service calls are sounding—
Make us quick to hear.
Grant us clearer vision
Helpful work to see;
Readiness to answer,
"Here am I, send me!" [Refrain]
3 Forward into service
Joyously we go,
Knowing Thou will surely
Needed strength bestow;
Using every talent
In Thy best employ,
May we find in service,
Fullness of Thy joy. [Refrain]
