Amid life’s busy, hurrying throng— The gay, the sad, the weak, the strong— While I am traveling along, I want my life to tell for Jesus.
Refrain: I want my life to tell for Jesus! I want my life to tell for Jesus, That everywhere I go, Men may His goodness know, I want my life to tell for Jesus!
I want to be a beacon light To cheer wayfarers in their night, And help them on their way aright; I want my life to tell for Jesus.
I want my life with Jesus hid, That I may do what He shall bid; I want to love as Jesus did; I want my life to tell for Jesus.
To wealth and fame I would not climb, But I would know God’s peace sublime, And everywhere and all the time, I want my life to tell for Jesus.
