SDAH 574

O Master, let me walk with thee
in lowly paths of service free;
tell me thy secret; help me bear
the strain of toil, the fret of care.

1
O Master, let me walk with thee
in lowly paths of service free;
tell me thy secret; help me bear
the strain of toil, the fret of care.

2
Help me the slow of heart to move
by some clear, winning word of love;
teach me the wayward feet to stay,
and guide them in the homeward way.

3
Teach me thy patience; still with thee
in closer, dearer company,
in work that keeps faith sweet and strong,
in trust that triumphs over wrong;

4
In hope that sends a shining ray
far down the future’s broadening way,
in peace that only thou canst give,
with thee, O Master, let me live.

Song Leader’s Notes
SDA Hymnal Companion

When we choose Jesus over all, others will recognize His blessing upon us–while it may not be in the size of our salary, they will see Him in the spirit with which we work. (Lesson 8, 1st Quarter 2023, Managing for the Master – Tuesday, “Working With Integrity” 2/22/23)
