about

These lyrics were written by Mary Brown in 1899 and are now in the public domain. Like most of my recordings, I feel the more simple the accompaniment the more we can listen to the words and maybe imagine those saints who have gone before us singing through the plains or in whatever buildings they could find for their church meetings.
I thought this hymn fit well as a reminder of President Boyd K. Packer's talk "Counsel To Young Men" in the May 2009 General Conference. His "no fear" attitude is one we all can and should develop. I hope hearing and thinking about this song helps you do that.

lyrics

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

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

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,
Though dark and rugged the way,
My voice shall echo Thy message sweet,
I’ll say what You want me to say.

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