D                               G                A7              D
Lord, whose love through humble service bore the weight of human need,
D                        G             A7             D
who upon the cross, forsaken, offered mercy’s perfect deed:
D                                                            G
we, your servants, bring the worship not of voice alone, but heart,
     D               G             A7               D
consecrating to your purpose every gift that you impart.

D                          G                    A7            D
Still your children wander homeless; still the hungry cry for bread;
D                            G                 A7                D
still the captives long for freedom; still in grief we mourn our dead.
D                                                              G
As, O Lord, your deep compassion healed the sick and freed the soul,
       D                   G               A7              D

D                       G                  A7              D
As we worship, grant us vision, till your love’s revealing light
D                  G                        A7                 D
in its height and depth and greatness dawns upon our quickened sight,
D                                                          G
making known the needs and burdens your compassion bids us bear,
   D                     G              A7             D
stirring us to tireless striving your abundant life to share.

D                          G                 A7               D
Called by worship to your service, forth in your dear name we go
D                            G              A7             D
to the child, the youth, the aged, love in living deeds to show;
D                                                                  G
hope and health, good will and comfort, counsel, aid, and peace we give,
       D                      G                A7             D
that your servants, Lord, in freedom may your mercy know, and live.
