At the blest mercy seat, Pleading for me, My feeble faith looks up, Jesus, to Thee: Help me the cross to bear, Thy wondrous love declare, Some song to raise, or pray'r, Something for Thee. 3. Give me a faithful heart, Likeness to Thee, That each departing day Henceforth may see Some work of love begun, Some deed of kindness done, Some wand'rer sought and won, Something for Thee. 4. All that I am and have, Thy gifts so free, In joy, in grief, thro' life, Dear Lord, for Thee! And when Thy face I see, My ransom'd soul shall be, Thro' all eternity, Something for Thee. Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:15 Languages: English Tune Title: SOMETHING FOR JESUS

And time's wild wintry blast Soon shall be over-past; I shall reach home at last, Heaven is my home. 3 Therefore I murmur not, Heaven is my home; Whate'er my earthly lot, Heaven is my home. And I shall surely stand There at my Lord's right hand; Heaven is my fatherland, Heaven is my home. Amen.
