O bless­èd Sav­ior, Lord of love,
Leaving for us Thy home ab­ove,
How can we show our love to Thee
When Thy dear face we can­not see?

Refrain

Smile with the glad, grieve with the sad,
Gentle, and thought­ful, and lov­ing be;
Friendly in need, and kind in deed;
I count it all as done to Me.

All of our gifts have come from Heav­en,
Our home and friends Thy love has giv­en;
If we could see Thy bless­èd face,
How should we thank Thee for Thy grace?

Refrain

Heathen upon the dist­ant shore,
Hungry and needy at our door,
Sinning and suf­fer­ing ev­ery­where,
Thou hast com­mit­ted to our care.

Refrain

Humbly we thank Thee, bless­èd Lord,
For this the com­fort of Thy word,
When thou a lov­ing deed dost see,
Lo, ye have done it un­to Me.
