Make Me a Blessing Today

Oh

soft­ly the Spir­it is whis­per­ing to me

With ten­der com­pass­ion

with pi­ty­ing plea;

I hear His be­seech­ing

and ear­nest­ly pray

That Je­sus will make me a bless­ing to­day.

Lord

make me a bless­ing to­day

A bless­ing to some one

I pray;

In all that I do

in all that I say

O make me a bless­ing today.

Some heart may be long­ing

for on­ly a word

Whose love by the Spir­it is quicken­ed and stirred;

Now grant

bless­èd Sav­ior

this serv­ice to me

Of speak­ing a com­fort­ing mes­sage for Thee.

Some soul may be plunged in the dark­est des­pair

Where sha­dows would melt in the sun­light of pray­er;

O give me

dear Sav­ior

I hum­bly im­plore

The sweet con­so­la­tion that soul to re­store.

Come

all ye that la­bor

ye wea­ry and worn

Come ye who in sor­row or sin­ful­ness mourn;

With me this pe­ti­tion to Je­sus con­vey:

O make me a bless­ing

dear Sav­ior

to­day.
