Savior, an offering costly and sweet Mary of Bethany laid at Your feet; May our love’s incense rise Sweeter than sacrifice, Savior, to You, dear Savior, to You.
Daily our lives would show weakness made strong, Toilsome and gloomy ways brightened with song; Some deeds of kindness done, Some souls by patience won, Savior, to You, dear Savior, to You.
Some word of hope for hearts burdened with fears, Some balm of peace for eyes swollen with tears; Some dews of mercy shed, Some wayward footstep led, Savior, to You, dear Savior, to You.
Thus, ever serving You, till eventide Closes the day of life, may we abide; And when earth’s labors cease, Bid us depart in peace, Savior, to You, dear Savior, to You.
