Sacred Songs and Solos Lyrics
Hymn No.770
First Line: Bear the cup of loving service,
Bear the cup of loving service,
Sons and daughters of the King ;
Water from the living fountain
To the faint and thirsty bring ;
Tendered in His loving spirit,
Blessed will the mission be ;
E'en the smallest cup that's offered,
Christ, our gracious Lord, will see.
2 Bear the cup of loving service
To the weary and the sad ;
For the draught held out to others
Makes the giver more than glad :
So 'twill yield a double blessing,
Waking sweetest chords of praise,
While we strive to follow Jesus
In His pleasant, peaceful ways.
3 Bear the cup of loving service,
Listening for the Master's voice ;
Ready always for His errands,
In the blessed work rejoice.
Yes, we know, for He hath told us----
And His word is still the same----
He will bless the cup of water
Humbly offered in His name.
