Janice Kapp Perry, “A Missionary’s Prayer (I Will Go and Do),” New Era, Mar 1984, 44–45

1. Father, I hear thy call,I turn my thoughts to thee, forsaking all;

Recalling promises we all must keep.

I put my hand in thine and go to feed thy sheep.

Lead me to those who seek,and give me faith and strength to boldly speak.

In humble dignity I will proclaim,that men may come to know and love thy holy name.

If there be trials, Lord, to help me grow,If thou wilt guide me I will conquer, this I know!

I will go and do the things which the Lord commandeth,

for I know that He giveth no commands to His children,

except He prepare a way, except He prepare a way.

2. Father, I clearly see that ev’ry lasting joy has come from thee.

Help me to serve thee well and thus repay,Thy loving kindness I receive from day to day.

Knowing that thou art near, and I may seek thy help through daily prayer.

I’ll walk in confidence that I will see thy Spirit touch the lives of seeking men through me.

If there be trials, Lord, to help me grow,If thou wilt guide me I will conquer, this I know!

I will go and do the things which the Lord commandeth,

for I know that He giveth no commands to His children,

except He prepare a way, except He prepare a way.

I dedicate this blog and that song to my precious Cameron. I told him that he is my "trial" son to see if I can ever send my own boys on a mission. I am so proud of him!! He gave an amazing talk in church. I cried....of course. I love you Cam!!
