Nearer In Service By John McLeod

Nearer In Service By John McLeod

Write these few words

And then put down the pen,

Briefly, I hope, before I write again,

Surely to find in days that are to be

Nearer in service my dear Lord to Thee!

Look to the light

And in your searching friend,

Know that His love will guide to journey's end,

Open your eyes there is so much to see

Nearer in service, my dear Lord to Thee!

Into each heart

Let joy of living spring,

And with a gentle word some kindness bring,

Yours is the gift of giving, choice quite free,

Nearer in service, my dear Lord to Thee!
