    Lyrics:

    In each passing mortal hour
    All around me there is need
    There are hearts that yearn, and tears that fall
    And hungry souls to feed
    I must seek the Spirit's wisdom
    Learn compassion's gentle art
    For I cannot give with empty hands
    Nor love with barren heart

    If I would bear my brother's burden
    If I would share my sister's grief
    Extend the hand of sweet compassion
    Offer the weary ones relief
    If I would ease the thirst of strangers
    And serve His children heart and hand
    I must drink of heaven's wells o'erflowing
    I must learn to fill the well within

    I will serve my Savior gladly
    Seek his little lambs who stray
    But if I would lead them safely home
    I must know the way
    I must seek for understanding
    That I may serve his children well
    If I seek to fill the soul athirst
    I must first be filled

    (Repeat chorus)
