Take me as your disciple, Lord:
Teach me the things I need to know;
Give me that self-forgetfulness
From which unselfish actions flow.
Yours is the only way of life
That leads me where I ought to go:
Take me as your disciple, Lord;
Teach me the things I ought to know.
Make me your firm disciple, Lord;
Give me the strength I need today;
You never taught us to believe
Yours is a cheap or easy way.
When I am tempted, off my guard,
If I should want to run away:
Make me your firm disciple, Lord;
Give me the strength I need today.
Proud to be your disciple, Lord,
One of a crowd or one of few,
Fit me in somewhere, let me share
In Christian ventures, old and new.
If I'm disheartened, if I'm bored,
Help me to keep the end in view:
Proud to be your disciple, Lord,
Show me how best to follow you.
