Let me try a little harder
Let me pray a little more
Let me go a little farther
Than I've ever gone before.
Let me sing instead of sighing
As I pass beneath the rod
Let my life burn out for others
Less of self and more of God.
Let me see the ones about me
Hungry for the peace I know,
And the spirit of my Savior
Father let me ever show.
Let me lift the one who's fallen
Help the lame upon the way,
Soothe the weary, calm the suffering
Knowing thou wilt come someday.
Others, Lord, yes others
Let this my motto be,
Help me to live for others
That I may be like Thee.
-Nellie Martin
