Make Me a Blessing Today

Verse 1

O softly the Spirit is whisp'ring to me, With tender compassion, with pitying plea; I hear His beseeching, and earnestly pray That Jesus will make me a blessing to-day.

Chorus

Lord, make me a blessing to-day, A blessing to someone, I pray; In all that I do, in all that I say, O make me a blessing to-day.

Verse 2

Some heart may be longing for only a word, Whose love by the Spirit is quickened and stirred; Now grant, blessed Saviour, this service to me, Of speaking a comforting message for Thee.

Verse 3

Some soul may be plunged in the darkest despair, Whose shadows would melt in the sunlight of pray'r; O give me, dear Saviour, I humbly implore, The sweet consolation that soul to restore.

Verse 4

Come, all ye that labor, ye weary and worn, Come ye who in sorrow or sinfulness mourn; With me this petition to Jesus convey; O make me a blessing, dear Saviour, to-day.
