1 Oh, to be something for Jesus,
Tho’ lowest of those who serve,
This is my highest ambition,
And more than thy gifts deserve.
Oh, to be always found waiting,
Eager for ev’ry command,
To haste at his gracious bidding,
Or patiently near him stand.

2 Oh, to be something for Jesus,
A voice that can sing his praise,
And tell his sorrowful children,
The Lord directeth their ways.
Something for Jesus is better
Than all the world has to give,
It drives away care and trouble,
And makes it a joy to live.

3 Oh, to be something for Jesus,
He has such riches for me,
Life of the lowliest service,
Would all sufficient be.
Happiest thought of heaven,
Ministering angels blest,
I can be something for Jesus,
Thro’ all eternities rest.
