I do not ask for mighty words to leave the crowd impressed,
But grant my life may ring so true my neighbor shall be blessed.
I do not ask for influence to sway the multitude;
Give me a 'word in season' for the one in solitude.
I do not ask to win the great--God grant they may be saved!
Give me the broken sinner, Lord, by Satan long enslaved.
Though words of wisdom and power rise easily to some,
Give me a simple message, Lord, that bids the sinner come.
