Move me, dear Lord

- Move me, dear Lord, and others I shall move to do Thy will;
- mould Thou this life into a vessel fair Thyself to fill;
- no charm with which to draw do I possess,
- in Thee I find the secret of success.
- O touch these yielded lips and through them pour Thy living thought;
- I would not give to hungry souls the words that man hath taught;
- shall they who seek the bread a stone receive?
- It is God's Word alone that can relieve.
- How wonderful a channel thus to be, to those forlorn,
- a messenger of peace and joy and hope, to them that mourn;
- O grant that I Thy risen life may share,
- the virtue of Thy name to others bear.
- Under the anointing daily let me live, a priest and king;
- relying not on fleshly energy Thy smile to win;
- a simple soul in contact with my Lord,
- in whom all fullness is forever stored.
- O teach me, Lord, henceforth with Thee to walk in union deep;
- whilst tending other souls not to neglect my own to keep;
- a separated soul unto the One
- whose grace and love for me so much have done
