1.O softly the Spirit is whisp'ring to me,With tender compassion, with pitying plea;I hear His beseeching, and earnestly prayThat Jesus will make me a blessing to-day.Chorus:Lord, make me a blessing to-day,A blessing to someone, I pray;In all that I do, in all that I say,O make me a blessing to-day.2.Some heart may be longing for only a word,Whose love by the Spirit is quickened and stirred;Now grant, blessed Saviour, this service to me,Of speaking a comforting message for Thee. [Chorus]3.Some soul may be plunged in the darkest despair,Whose shadows would melt in the sunlight of pray'r; O give me, dear Saviour, I humbly implore,The sweet consolation that soul to restore. [Chorus]4.Come, all ye that labor, ye weary and worn,Come ye who in sorrow or sinfulness mourn;With me this petition to Jesus convey;O make me a blessing, dear Saviour, to-day. [Refrain]
