It may not be on the mountain's height

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 573.

Verse 1

It may not be on the mountain’s height Or over the stormy sea, It may not be at the battle’s front My Lord will have need of me. But if by a still, small voice He calls To paths I do not know, I’ll answer, dear Lord, with my hand in Thine; I’ll go where You want me to go.

Refrain

I’ll go where You want me to go, dear Lord, O’er mountain, or plain, or sea; I’ll say what You want me to say, dear Lord; I’ll be what You want me to be.

Verse 2

Perhaps today there are loving words Which Jesus would have me speak There may be now, in the paths of sin Some wand’rer whom I should seek. O Savior, if Thou wilt be my guide, Tho dark and rugged the way, My voice shall echo the message sweet; I’ll say what You want me to say.

Verse 3

There’s surely somewhere a lowly place In earth’s harvest fields so wide Where I may labor thro’ life’s short day For Jesus, the Crucified. So trusting my all unto Thy care, I know Thou lovest me, I’ll do Thy will with a heart sincere: I’ll be what You want me to be.
