Representative Text

1 Ó Senhor, eu sou Teu servo
E desejo Te seguir;
És Tu meu bondoso Mestre,
Quero Tua voz ouvir.

Refrain:
Rogo-Te que eu seja sempre
Mais e mais fiel a Ti;
Que, Senhor, o meu serviço
Seja abençoado aqui.

2 Quero ser um vaso santo,
Águas vivas pra trazer
Aos que vivem tão sedentos,
Em perigo de morrer.

3 Quando aqui findar a vida,
Eu contigo habitarei
E serviço mais perfeito
Para sempre prestarei.

Adapter: William Anglin

William Anglin (1882–1965) was born in Stockton-on-Tees, England, where he was successful as a steel mill manager until he felt God's call to missionary work. He arrived in Brazil in 1926 and worked primarily in the Zona da Mata region (MG, RJ, and ES), dedicating himself to evangelization, teaching children to read and write, and supporting other missionaries. He distinguished himself as a hymnologist, contributing 63 compositions to the hymnal Hinos e Cânticos and authoring the adaptation of A. E. Knight's History of Christianity. After health problems, he returned to England in 1960, declaring with emotion: "Brazil is my homeland." He died on September 7, 1965, leaving behind an important missionary and musical legacy.
