C. H. Gabriel

9.7.9.7.D.Ref.

IT may not be on the mountain’s height,

Or over the stormy sea;

It may not be at the battle’s front

My Lord will have need of me;

But if by a still, small voice He calls

To paths I do not know,

I’ll answer, dear Lord, with my hand in Thine,

I’ll go where You want me to go.

I’ll go where You want me to go, dear Lord,

O’er mountain, or plain, or sea;

I’ll say what You want me to say, dear Lord,

I’ll be what You want me to be.

Perhaps today there are loving words

Which Jesus would have me speak;

There may be now, in the paths of sin,

Some wand’rer whom I should seek.

O Saviour, if Thou wilt be my Guide,

Though dark and rugged the way,

My voice shall echo the message sweet,

I’ll say what You want me to say.

3

There’s surely somewhere a lowly place

In earth’s harvest fields so wide,

Where I may labor through life’s short day

For Jesus, the Crucified.

So, trusting my all unto Thy care,

I know Thou lovest me!

I’ll do Thy will with a heart sincere,

I’ll be what You want me to be.
