E103. Make Me a Worker for Jesus

1 Make me a worker for Jesus,
Faithful and ready and true;
Asking the help of the Master
For work He would have me to do.

Chorus:
Make me a worker for Jesus,
Humble I only would be;
Winning lost souls for the Saviour
Who shed his life's blood for me.

2 Make me a worker for Jesus,
Filled with His heavenly love;
Binding the sheaves for the harvest,
When He shall come from above. [Chorus]

3 Make me a worker for Jesus,
Taking my place in the fight;
Giving my all to the Captain,
Fighting for all that is right. [Chorus]

4 Make me a worker for Jesus,
Knowing I never can fail;
If I but trust in His mercy,
Tempter nor sin can prevail. [Chorus]

5 Make me a worker for Jesus,
Till earth’s short harvest is o’er;
When I shall dwell with the Saviour
In that blest land evermore. [Chorus]
