Through Me

I am only a toil­er of hum­ble es­tate

And oft­en at fault may be;

But Thou

in Thy mer­cy

So lov­ing and great

Canst let Thy light shine thro’ me.

Let Thy light shine thro’ me

Let Thy light shine thro’ me;

O strength­en my faith

New cour­age in­spire

And let Thy light shine thro’ me.

I am only a keep­er of some­bo­dy’s door

And ev­er on watch must be;

To men

who in pass­ing

Shall en­ter no more

O let Thy light shine thro’ me.

I am only a wan­der­er ov­er life’s way

Where ma­ny a wreck I see;

Grant

Lord

that my hand

May help some­one some day

O let Thy light shine thro’ me.

I am only a suf­fer­er

learn­ing to wait

Till I shall from earth be free—

O grant me an en­trance

At Heav­en’s fair gate

Lord

let Thy light shine thro’ me.
