Hymn 744

Dismiss me not Thy service, Lord

Meter: C.M.D.

1

Dismiss me not Thy service, Lord

But train me for Thy will

For even I in fields so broad

Some duties may fulfil

And I will ask for no reward

Except to serve Thee still

2

How many serve how many more

May to the service come

To tend the vines, 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 for 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
