1  Christ to minister is service

       Both to God and others too,

    Christ, the surplus, e'er supplying,

       Off'ring Him as service true.

 2  As the Israelites did offer

       From the surplus of their land,

    Thus some produce reaped of Jesus

       Must be in our serving hand.

 3  We on Christ, as land, must labor,

       Harvest Him for all our fare;

    Tasting Him to overflowing,

       Christ with others we may share.

 4  Holding Christ, as members growing,

       Each his function must observe;

    Christ receiving, Christ partaking,

       To His Body Christ we serve.

 5  Fellowship and testimony,

       Ministry and worship too,

    In all helps and ministrations

       Christ is all our service true.
