Lord, Here I Am (??)

[Guest]

I'm looking for these lyrics to use in my SS class tomorrow. I haven't been able to find them anywhere and this is my last resort.

In my teacher's book, it is listed as:

'Lord, Here I Am' (no. 486, the Baptist Hymnal, 1991)

Hi Guest,

Here are the lyrics as written in the Baptist Hymnal:

1.
Master, Thou callest, I gladly obey;
Only direct me, and I'll find Thy way.
Teach me the mission appointed for me,
What is my labor, and where it shall be.

Chorus
Master, Thou callest, and this I reply,
"Ready and willing, Lord, here am I."

2.
Willing, my Savior, to take up the cross;
Willing to suffer reproaches and loss.
Willing to follow, if Thou will but lead;
Only support me with grace in my need.

3.
Living, or dying, I still would be Thine;
Yet I am mortal while Thou art divine.
Pardon, whenever I turn from the right;
Pity, and bring me again to the light.

Sorry I missed your class, but hope it'll still come in handy

God bless,
Steve

BTW, there is another praise song called "Here I Am, Lord". You can find lyrics to that here:

not sure but we sing this in church hope it helps, here i am, here i am, i'm the one the shepherd left the fold and found, there were ninety and nine but he left the fold to find one little lost lamb and here i am. can't remember the verse though

[bogginboy]

on that resurrection morning
when the redeemed are gathering in
i'll be in that royal number when they call my name
when they all join in and sing
hallelujah to the king
i'll join in that joyful sound lord here i am

here i am
her i am
i'm the one the shepherd left the fold to find
there were ninety and nine
but he left the fold to find
one little lost lamb lord here i am

when old gabriel sounds the trumpet
and we rise up in the air
in less time than a split second
we'll be changed from here to there
where there'll be no grief or pain
perfect peace and joy shall reign
home at last i shall proclaim
lord here i am
