My Lord I want to thank Thee
written
by Percy Herbert Pooley (1886-1971) circa early 1920s.
Tune:
Aurelia 76 76 D Composed by S. S. Wesley (1810-1876)
My
Lord I want to thank Thee
For
leading me to be
A
scout in this great movement
To
make my vows all three,
I
pray that I may ever
Be
worthy of the call
Keeping
my vows, may never
Forget
I owe Thee all.
My
Lord I want to serve Thee,
Oh
give me eyes to see
How
I can help the suffering
Those
who in need may be;
Endue
me with Thy Spirit
And
let me never cease
Trying
to serve as Thou did'st
In
Love, Goodwill and Peace.
My
Lord I want to follow
My
Pathfinder and Friend,
To
carry out my promise
Faithful
unto the end;
Oh
give me grace to follow
They
Guiding Light O Lord
And,
called to higher service
"Well
Done" be my reward.
