Text:
How Can I Serve Thee Lord? (based on Mosiah 2:17)

How can I serve Thee, Lord,
When Thou art so far away?
I can only hope You hear,
When I kneel each day to pray,
To give thanks for thy gifts
Of bounteous gracious love,
Bestowed by thy gentle hands,
From Thy dwelling place above.

How can I serve Thee, Lord,
When Thou art so far away?
I can only trust Thy word,
And Thy precepts all obey,
Going through my daily life
As if Thou were by my side,
To feel Thy nearness, joy,
Oh, Lord, with me abide!

How can I serve Thee, Lord,
When Thou art so far away?
I can be Thy hands on earth,
To help others on their way,
To lend an ear, to lift a load,
To share a friendly smile,
To walk with others who are in need,
Down their road of trial.

Chorus:
I can serve Thee, Lord, with trust and with faith,
I can all Thy commandments keep,
I can help my fellow beings along,
For serving them is like serving Thee.
