Out in the highways and byways of life,

Many are weary and sad; (are weary and sad);

Carry the sunshine where darkness is rife,
Making the sorrowing glad.
Chorus
Make me a blessing, Make me a blessing,
Out of my life (out of my life) may Jesus shine;
Make me a blessing, O Savior I pray. (I pray Thee, my Savior)
Make me a blessing to someone today.

Tell the sweet story of Christ and His love,

Tell of His pow'r forgive (His pow'r to forgive);
Others will trust Him if only you prove,
True, ev'ry moment you live.

Chorus
Make me a blessing, Make me a blessing,
Out of my life (out of my life) may Jesus shine;
Make me a blessing, O Savior I pray. (I pray Thee, my Savior)
Make me a blessing to someone today.

Give as 'twas given to you in your need,

Love as the Master loved you (the Master loved you);
Be to the helpless a helper indeed,
Unto your mission be true.

Chorus
Make me a blessing, Make me a blessing,
Out of my life (out of my life) may Jesus shine;
Make me a blessing, O Savior I pray. (I pray Thee, my Savior)
Make me a blessing to someone today.

More like the Master I would ev'er be,

More of His meekness, more humility;
More zeal to labor, more courage to be true;
More consecration for work He bids me do.
 Chorus
Take Thou my heart, I would be Thine alone;
(Take my heart, O take my heart, I would be Thine alone;)
Take Thou my heart and make it all Thine own;
(Take my heart, O take my heart and make it all Thine own;)
Purge me from sin, O Lord, I now implore,
(Purge Thou me from ev'ry sin O Lord, I now implore)
Wash me and keep me, Thine forever more.
(Wash and keep, O wash and keep me Thine forever more.)

More like the Master is my daily prayer;

More strength to carry crosses I must bear;
More earnest effort to rescue souls from sin;
More of His Spirit, the wanderer to win.

Chorus
Take Thou my heart, I would be Thine alone;
(Take my heart, O take my heart, I would be Thine alone;)
Take Thou my heart and make it all Thine own;
(Take my heart, O take my heart and make it all Thine own;)
Purge me from sin, O Lord, I now implore,
(Purge Thou me from ev'ry sin O Lord, I now implore)
Wash me and keep me, Thine forever more.
(Wash and keep, O wash and keep me Thine forever more.)

More like the Master I would live and grow;

More of His love to others I would show;
More self denial, like His in Galilee,
More like the Master I long to ever be.

Chorus
Take Thou my heart, I would be Thine alone;
(Take my heart, O take my heart, I would be Thine alone;)
Take Thou my heart and make it all Thine own;
(Take my heart, O take my heart and make it all Thine own;)
Purge me from sin, O Lord, I now implore,
(Purge Thou me from ev'ry sin O Lord, I now implore)
Wash me and keep me, Thine forever more.
(Wash and keep, O wash and keep me Thine forever more.)
