Oh, soft­ly the Spi­rit is whis­per­ing to me,
With ten­der com­pass­ion, with pi­ty­ing plea;
I hear His be­seech­ing, and ear­nest­ly pray
That Je­sus will make me a bless­ing to­day.

Refrain

Lord, make me a bless­ing to­day,
A bless­ing to some one, I pray;
In all that I do, in all that I say,
O make me a bless­ing today.

Some heart may be long­ing, for on­ly a word,
Whose love by the Spi­rit is quicken­ed and stirred;
Now grant, bless­èd Sav­ior, this ser­vice to me,
Of speak­ing a com­fort­ing mes­sage for Thee.

Refrain

Some soul may be plunged in the dark­est des­pair,
Where sha­dows would melt in the sun­light of pray­er;
O give me, dear Sav­ior, I hum­bly im­plore,
The sweet con­so­la­tion that soul to re­store.

Refrain

Come, all ye that la­bor, ye wea­ry and worn,
Come ye who in sor­row or sin­ful­ness mourn;
With me this pe­ti­tion to Je­sus con­vey:
O make me a bless­ing, dear Sav­ior, to­day.
