CHORUS
Oh, Lord bless the talent you have given to me,
//And multiply it Lord,// all glory and honor unto your Name;
Oh, Lord, grant me stronger faith.
2
What joy I have now because I have received,
The joy I felt when my sins washed away;
Through baptism my guilt and crimes were erased,
And by the Lord's blood my soul is freely saved.
3
And now that I'm free I will toil for the Lord,
To multiply the talent that He gave to me;
And build upon the Temple, the House of the Lord,
It's will be my delight to praise His holy Name.
4
United to my Brethren I'll always remain,
Because we are kin of the author of the faith;
I will increase the talent the Lord gave to me,
So when He returns He may find faith in our souls.
373. MY DARKEST HOURS
. . . .. MisHoiiifsNEGRAS .
LOTW Emlgdio Alvarado/ Eph 6.20 GRATITUDE/ Num 23.19 INTERCESSION
My darkest hours and anguish have now gone by,
Only sweet gladness is flooding heart and soul;
I made a promise to the Lord of the heavens,
I will fulfill it though it may cost me my life;
All I ask of the church is to pray for me.
CHORUS
Merciful God, your promises are faithful,
You gave to John a divine revelation;
You said you would come to wipe away our tears,
And we would not know sorrow throughout all of our days.
2
I am a pilgrim complying with this mission,
My obligation will be to speak of Christ;
I have no nest here, as a bird I am wand'ring,
I am a stranger I have no home on earth;
