Hymn Stanzas of the Week: Dear Lord, To Thy True Servants Give

Dear Lord, to Thy True Servants Give
W. Gustav Polack, stanzas 1 and 3

Dear Lord, to thy true servants give
the grace of Thee alone to live.
Once bound by sin, but saved by Thee,
They go to set the prisoners free,
The Gospel message to proclaim,
That men might call upon Thy name.

When all their labor seems in vain,
Revive their sinking hearts again;
And when success crowns what they do,
Oh, keep them humble, Lord, and true
Until before Thy judgment seat
they lay their trophies at Thy feet.
