Out on the highways and byways of life, many are the weary and sad; carry the sunshine where darkness is rife, making the sorrowing glad.
Tell the sweet story of Christ and His love, tell of His pow'r to forgive; others will trust Him if only I prove true every moment I live.
Give as 'twas given to me in my need, love as the Master loved me; be to the helpless a helper indeed, unto my mission be true.
Make me a blessing, make me a blessing; out of my life may Jesus shine.
Make me a blessing, O Saviour I pray, make me a blessing to someone today.
(Adapted from Make Me A Blessing, 1924 by Ira Bishop Wilson, whose sister taught him to play the violin and the organ while at home. 12 years before the hymn was written, he was enrolled in Moody Bible Institute at Chicago and met his friend, George Shuler, who composed the music for the lyrics he wrote.)
