More like the Master I would be, More of His meekness, More humility; More zeal to labor, more courage to be true, More consecration for work He bids me do. More like the Master is my daily prayer; More strength to carry crosses I must bear; More earnest effort to bring His kingdom in; More of His Spirit, the wanderer to win. More like the Master I would live and grow; More of His love to others I would show; More self denial like His in Galilee; More like the Master I long to ever be. (Worship in Song, No. 277)

Out in the highways and byways of life, Many are weary and sad. Carry the sunshine where darkness is rife, making the sorrowing glad. Tell the sweet story of Christ and His love; Tell of His power to forgive. Others will trust Him if only you prove true every moment you live. Give as was given to you in your need; Love as the Master loved you. Be to the helpless a helper indeed; Unto your Mission be true. Make me a blessing, O Saviour, I pray. Make me a blessing to someone today.  (Worship in Song, No. 342)

While passing through this world of sin, And others your life shall view, Be clean and pure without, within, Let others see Jesus in you. Your life’s a book before their eyes, They’re reading it through and through; Say, does it point them to the skies, Do others see Jesus in you? Then live for Christ both day and night. Be faithful, be brave, be true, And lead the lost to life and light; Let others see Jesus in you. Keep telling the story, be faithful and true, Let others see Jesus in you. (Baptist Hymnal, No. 348)

Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand.—The shadow of a mighty Rock within a weary land; A home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way, from the burning of the noonday heat, and the burden of the day.

Now Israel may say, and that in truth, If that the Lord had not our right maintained, If that the Lord had not with us remained, When cruel men against us rose to strive, We surely had been swallowed up alive.  Yea, when their wrath against us fiercely rose, The swelling tide had o’er us spread its wave, The raging stream had then become our grave, The surging flood, in proudly swelling roll, Most surely then had overwhelmed our soul.  Blest  be the Lord, who made us not their prey; As from the snare a bird escapeth free, Their net is rent and so escaped are we; Our only help is in God’s holy name, Who made the earth and all the heavenly frame.  (The Hymnbook, No. 357).

When-e’er Thy way seems strange, go Thou before me; And, lest my heart should change, O Lord, watch o’er me; But, should my faith prove frail, and I through blindness fail, O let Thy grace prevail, and still restore me. Should earthly pleasures wane, and joy forsake me, And lonely hours of pain at length o’ertake me, My hand in Thine hold fast till sorrow be o’er past, And gentle death at last for heaven awake me. There, with the ransomed throng who praise forever The love that made them strong to serve forever, I too would seek Thy face, Thy finished work retrace, And magnify Thy grace, redeemed forever.

O Lord, my God, most earnestly my heart would seek Thy face, Within Thy holy house once more to see Thy glorious grace. Apart from Thee I long and thirst, and nought can satisfy; I wander in a desert land where all the streams are dry. The loving kindness of my God is more than life to me; So I will bless Thee while I live and lift my prayer to Thee. In Thee my soul is satisfied, my darkness turns to light, and joyful meditations fill the watches of the night. My Saviour, ‘neath Thy sheltering wings my soul delights to dwell; Still closer to Thy side I press, for near Thee all is well. (The Hymnbook, No. 327)
