Sheet music
- 1It may not be on the mountain’s height,Or over the stormy sea;It may not be at the battle’s frontMy Lord will have need of me;But if, I am needed anywhere,In 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.
- 2Perhaps 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 Thy 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.
- 3There’s surely somewhere a lowly place,In earth’s harvest fields so wide,Where I may labor thru 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.
