Duty in Worship

Barney Elliott Warren (1921) • English

Primary Scripture: Romans 12:1

Verse 1

Child of God, thou ’rt called for service, Thou art called from Heav’n above; Give the Lord the best—He gave thee The full measure of His love; Worship at His shrine of pleasure, Just renew thy strength today; Consecrate thyself forever, Trust, oh, trust Him, and obey.

Verse 2

Child of God, thou ’rt called to duty, Do thy best, thy humble part; Worship Him in all the beauty Of true holiness of heart; Let no evil thing defile thee, Let no tempting foes allure; Should they flatter or revile thee, Keep thy soul forever pure.

Verse 3

Child of God, the time is nearing When we’ll hear the trumpet call, When we’ll see the Lord appearing, To the judgment bringing all; Then He’ll say unto the righteous, “Faithful thou hast been to Me; Come, thou blessed of my Father, To the home prepared for thee.”
