The Missionary's Prayer
Only one life I have to live for thee
Please, make me what I ought to be,
Oh God of shining light
Help me penetrate heathen night.
I will desire no rest
Until I offer you my best,
My youth, my talents, I gladly give
So that others in heaven may live.
Oh thou the Galilean King
Your message I will gladly bring,
So that those who have waited so long
At last they can sing the hallelujah song.
I will gladly lay my life down
So that others may wear a crown
I will tell them of your grace
So that together we may see your face.
