He calls us to be faithful, Unselfish, brave, and kind, And daily in His service Our highest joy to find. 3 The teachings of our master, Our listening ears have heard; He promises to bless us— We take Him at His word. We long to know Him better, To follow closer still, To love and learn of Jesus, And do His holy will. Used With Tune: SAN ANDREAS Text Sources: Bible Study Songs, by Bertha F. Vella and Daniel. B.
