| GREATER THINGS (Melody, Finlandia) |
| Lord Jesus Christ, Our faith looks up to Thee, In Thee we trust. Thou art our way, our light. Without Thy love the World would loveless be And so our path would be a starless night. Now heav'n above is bright, we knew the way, Let each tomorrow be a blessed day! When Thou art near, we have no foes to fear; Thou art our shield, Thy hand shall lead us on, The distant goal shall seem so very near. love and serve as days go one by one; We are Thy hands. We are Thy feet, Thy voice And as we serve, we will always rejoice. Help us to see the greater things, dear Lord, Abiding things, not simply clu7Lps of clay. The language, Lord, that love knows word for word, Do teach us now, as we are on our way. Then shall our faith, and love abide When Christ Himself is ward.ag at our side. |
