Lyrics

Like a vessel fashioned by the Mas­ter’s hand,
Tho’ your place be lowly, be ye cleaned and ho­ly;
That among His chosen you in truth may stand,
Let the Mas­ter use you in His work to­day.

Refrain

Like a vessel fashioned by His hand,
Let the Mas­ter find a use for you;
Pure and sweet and holy keep your heart for Him;
Jesus wants you to be true.

Come, your all sur­ren­der to the God of grace,
In your needy hour He can give you pow­er;
Made a worthy ves­sel, fill your wait­ing place,
Let the Mas­ter use you in His work to­day.

Refrain

Yield to Him the tal­ents of your life so fair,
Follow as He leads you to the one who needs you,
If you would be wor­thy in His love to share,
Let the Mas­ter use you in His work to­day.
