Power for Service

Spirit of pow­er

an­oint me for serv­ice

Spirit of ho­li­ness

cleanse Thou my heart;

Give to my soul of Thy­self a new vi­sion

And a new mea­sure of pow­er im­part.

Fill me with pow­er for serv­ice and use me;

Is there not some work my weak hands can do?

Make me a chan­nel of life and of bless­ing

And with the Spir­it an­oint me anew.

Not one lost soul have I won for Thy king­dom

All of my life has been fruit­less and waste;

Others have joy for the jew­els in­ga­thered;

May not my soul of this joy have a taste?

Never be­fore has my soul so an hun­gered

For Thy in­fill­ing

O Spir­it of love!

Come to the throne

be my mas­ter and rul­er

Reign Thou and draw my af­fect­ions above.

Myself I yield in com­plete con­se­cr­ation

Body and spir­it and soul to be Thine;

Spirit of pow­er

re­gard Thou my yearn­ings

And fill Thou me with Thy full­ness di­vine.
