Closing Hymn: O Master (Savior) Let me Walk with Thee
(LYRICS)
O Master let me walk with Thee
In lowly paths of service free
Tell me thy secret help me bear
The strain of toil, the fret of care.
Teach me Thy patience still with Thee
In closer dearer company
In work that keeps faith sweet and strong
In trust that triumphs over wrong.
In hope that sends a shining ray
Far down the future’s broadening way
In peace that only Thou canst give
With Thee O Master let me live.
