A sacred hymn with text by Kathryn Hales below.  Watch on YouTube: Let Me Be Thy Humble Servant

Let me by Thy humble servant, dear Lord,

Even as weak as I am,

Let my days here on earth be of some worth

In sharing Thy glorious plan.

Let my hands be as your hands, dear Lord,

To nurture, to calm, or caress,

Let my hands be like yours in gentle touch

As I lift, or with healing bless.

Let my feet be as your feet, dear Lord,

In search of those who have strayed,

Let my feet be led in ways so I’ll find,

Those for whom parents have prayed.

Let my voice be as Thy voice, dear Lord,

To invite, to preach, to declare;

Let my voice sing out in praises most sweet,

Or in each quiet moment of prayer.

Let me be your emissary, dear Lord,

One sent to serve in your stead,

Let me do Thy work here on the earth

In temples for those who are dead.

Let me be your servant, dear Lord,

Let me hold thy banner unfurled,

Let me be your hands, your feet, or your voice,

Spreading love across the whole world.
