Make Me a Blessing
Ira B. Wilson, 20th cent.
George S. Schuler, 1924

Out in the highways and byways of life,
many are weary and sad; (are weary and sad;)
Carry the sunshine where darkness is rife,
making the sorrowing glad.
Make me a blessing, make me a blessing,
Out of my life (out of my life) May Jesus shine;
Make me a blessing, O Savior, I pray, (I pray Thee, my Savior,)
Make me a blessing to someone today.

Tell the sweet story of Christ and His love;
Tell of His pow'r to forgive: (His pow'r to forgive.)
Others will trust Him if only you prove
true ev'ry moment you live.
Make me a blessing, make me a blessing,
Out of my life (out of my life) May Jesus shine;
Make me a blessing, O Savior, I pray, (I pray Thee, my Savior,)
Make me a blessing to someone today.

Give as 'twas given to you in your need;
Love as the Master loved you; (the Master loved you.)
Be to the helpless a helper indeed;
Unto your mission be true.
Make me a blessing, make me a blessing,
Out of my life (out of my life) May Jesus shine;
Make me a blessing, O Savior, I pray, (I pray Thee, my Savior,)
Make me a blessing to someone today.
