Lyrics
The lyrics are copyright so cannot be reproduced here. But they are currently available on this website. A rough outline is:1. Make us true servants to all those in need.
... and finding the lost.
2. Lord, make us prophets to cry out the way,
... to all people forlorn.
3. Lord, make us healers of body and mind;
... the joy of your name.
See more ...
