Stewards of His Strength

"Blessed is the man whose strength is in Thee ... Who passing through the valley of Baca (lit. "weeping"), make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools; they go from strength to strength; everyone of them in Zion appeareth before God" (Psalm 84:4-7). "Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God" (1 Corinthians 4:1).

There is strength for today and tomorrow
When we stand in the presence of God.
There is hope in this world of sorrow
When our feet with the Gospel are shod.

Then turn to this world of weeping,
And fill its dry valley with pools.
The harvest is ready for reaping.
The Lord of the harvest still rules.

Stewards of strength that He gives:
Now faithfully rise to the task!
Carry the news that Christ lives,
And saves all who truthfully ask.
