IF THOU DOST NEED
If Thou dost need a hand today
To clasp another hand on life’s rough way;
Take mine, dear Lord, take mine.
If Thou art needing feet to tread
In paths where sin to woe is wed;
Use mine, dear Lord, use mine;
If Thou art needing lips today
For words that help and heal, to say;
Fill mine, dear Lord, fill mine.
If Thou art needing eyes to see
When souls begin to stray from Thee;
Fit mine, dear Lord, fit mine.
But cleanse, dear Lord, and purify,
And then each talent sanctify.
Of mine, dear Lord, of mine.
- Mary E. Kendrew -
