YOUR PEOPLE, MASTER, I WOULD SERVE

Don Fortner

(Tune: Alas! And Did My Savior Bleed #110 CM)

Your people, Master, I would serve -

Choose the best place for me;

Give me the gifts most needed now,

That I might useful be.

My all I consecrate to You,

My God, my sovereign Lord;

O let me serve Your cause on earth

To spread Your gracious Word.

Your church on earth I take to be

My family in this world:

A faithful member, make of me,

To honor You, my God.

When I have served my usefulness

In Your kingdom below,

I would to Your triumphant church

In heaven’s glory go.

There I shall serve You as I would,

With that great, ransomed throng,

To whom I hope, by grace Divine,

I rightfully belong.
