D.C.M. Tunes1.
Dismiss me not Thy service, Lord
But train me for Thy will
For even I, in fields so broad
Some duties may fulfill
And I ask for no reward
Except to serve Thee still
2.
How many serve, how many more
May to the service come
To tend the vine, the grapes to store
Thou dost appoint for some
Thou hast Thy young men at the war
Thy little ones at home
3.
All works are good, and each is best
As most it pleases Thee
Each worker pleases when the rest
He serves in charity
And neither man nor work unblest
Wilt Thou permit to be
4.
Our Master all the work hath done
He asks of us today
Sharing His service, every one
Share too His Sonship may
Lord, I would serve and be a son
Dismiss me not, I pray
Amen
