#219 "Because I Have Been Given Much"

This hymn was a new addition to the 1985 hymnal.  I don't know of anyone who isn't touched by the message of this hymn.  I just wish it was easier to play.  I think I've pretty much got it down, but it's a little tricky for me.
I love the message of this hymn!
Someone wrote the following words (to be used at a missionary farewell) to the tune of this hymn:

Because of thy life's mission, Lord, I too will serve.

I'll leave the comforts of my home to teach thy word.

I'll seek thy sheep who've gone astray

And those who've never know the way.

I will make thy works my works today.
