= 3 I need Thy mercy for my sin; 4 Hardheartedness dwells not with souls Frederick W. Faber, 1862, arr. v. 2, line 5, alt. 3 Thus may I serve Thee, gracious Lord; Thus ever Thine alone, My soul and body given to Thee, Through evil or through good report 4 How happily the working days And ever where the Master is Carl J. P. Spitta, 1833 tr. Jane Borthwick, 1854 Give heart and mind and soul and strength To serve the King of kings. 1RISE up, O men of God! Have done with lesser things; Give heart and mind and soul and strength To serve the King of kings. 2 Rise up, O men of God! His kingdom tarries long; 3 Rise up, O men of God! The church for you doth wait, 4 Lift high the cross of Christ; Tread where His feet have trod; Rise up, O men of God! William Pierson Merrill, 1911 A-men. |
