16762. I Would Be Of Use To Thee

1 In the vine­yard of the Mas­ter,
Is there any work for me?
Lord, ac­cept my grate­ful ser­vice,
I would be of use to Thee.

Refrain:
I would be of use to Thee;
I would be of use to Thee;
Lord, ac­cept my grate­ful serv­ice;
I would be of use to Thee (to Thee).

2 I would serve Thee, bless­èd Je­sus;
At Thy feet I fain would be;
Humbly learn­ing wis­dom’s les­son,
I would be of use to Thee. [Refrain]

3 Winning souls for Thy dear king­dom,
Undeserving tho’ I be;
Let me ever be found faith­ful,
I would be of use to Thee. [Refrain]

4 O, the joy of such a serv­ice,
Soon my Mas­ter’s face I’ll see;
Till Thou call’st me, bless­ed Je­sus,
I would be of use to Thee. [Refrain]
