Lyrics

Use me, O my gra­cious Sav­ior,
Use me, Lord, as pleas­eth Thee;
Nothing done for Thee so low­ly,
But is great enough for me.

Refrain

Use me, use me,
Use me as it pleas­eth Thee;
Use me, use me,
Use me as it pleas­eth Thee.

Be it noon or be it mid­night,
Weary watch or blaze of day,
Shouting with the hap­py reap­ers,
Toiling in the hid­den way.

Refrain

Pride of will and lust of sta­tion,
Lord, I would from all be free;
And the on­ly honor seek­ing,
Lord, to be of use to Thee.
