 1  Christ to minister is service

       Both to God and others too,

    Christ, the surplus, e'er supplying,

       Off'ring Him as service true.

 

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.

 

Christ to minister is service

   Both to God and others too,

Christ, the surplus, e'er supplying,

   Off'ring Him as service true.

 

 3  We on Christ, as land, must labor,

       Harvest Him for all our fare;

    Tasting Him to overflowing,

       Christ with others we may share.

 

Christ to minister is service

   Both to God and others too,

Christ, the surplus, e'er supplying,

   Off'ring Him as service true.

 

 4  Holding Christ, as members growing,

       Each his function must observe;

    Christ receiving, Christ partaking,

       To His Body Christ we serve.

 

Christ to minister is service

   Both to God and others too,

Christ, the surplus, e'er supplying,

   Off'ring Him as service true.

 

 5  Fellowship and testimony,

       Ministry and worship too,

    In all helps and ministrations

       Christ is all our service true.

 

Christ to minister is service

   Both to God and others too,

Christ, the surplus, e'er supplying,

   Off'ring Him as service true.
