An Instrument in Thy Hands
Music from the New Era
1. As Alma yearned in ancient days, I, too, desire to be An instrument in thy hands, O Lord, In bringing souls to thee.
An instrument in thy hands, O Lord! A tool of strength and worth. An instrument in thy hands, O Lord! In building thy kingdom on earth.
2. So purge, refine, and purify, And tame my willful heart That I may be fit to serve thee well, And sacred truths impart.
An instrument in thy hands, O Lord! A tool of strength and worth. An instrument in thy hands, O Lord! In building thy kingdom on earth.
3. And may thy Spirit’s holy power Be always close to me. May thy work be my work ev’ry hour In bringing souls to thee.
An instrument in thy hands, O Lord! A tool of strength and worth. An instrument in thy hands, O Lord! In building thy kingdom on earth.
