1. It may not be on a mountain heightor over the stormy sea,It may not be at the battle’s frontmy Lord will have need of me.But if, by a still, small voice he callsto paths that I do not know,I’ll answer, dear Lord, with my hand in thine:I’ll go where you want me to go.I’ll go where you want me to go, dear Lord,over mountain or plain or sea;I’ll say what you want me to say, dear Lord;I’ll be what you want me to be.
2. Perhaps today there are loving wordswhich Jesus would have me speak;There may be now in the paths of sinsome wand’rer whom I should seek.O Savior, if thou wilt be my guide,tho dark and rugged the way,My voice shall echo the message sweet:I’ll say what you want me to say.I’ll go where you want me to go, dear Lord,over mountain or plain or sea;I’ll say what you want me to say, dear Lord;I’ll be what you want me to be.
3. There’s surely somewhere a lowly placein earth’s harvest fields so wideWhere I may labor through life’s short dayfor Jesus the Crucified.So trusting my all to thy tender care,and knowing thou lovest me,I’ll do thy will with a heart sincere:I’ll be what you want me to be.I’ll go where you want me to go, dear Lord,over mountain or plain or sea;I’ll say what you want me to say, dear Lord;I’ll be what you want me to be.I’ll be what you want me to be.I’ll be what you want me to be.
