1. Christ to minister is service
  Both to God and others too,
  Christ, the surplus, e'er supplying,
  Off'ring Him as service true.
(Chorus:)
  Christ to minister is service
  Both to God and others too,
  Christ, the surplus, e'er supplying,
  Off'ring Him as service true.
2. As the Israelites did offer
  From the surplus of their land,
  Thus some produce reaped of Jesus
  Must be in our serving hand.
3. We on Christ, as land, must labor,
  Harvest Him for all our fare;
  Tasting Him to overflowing,
  Christ with others we may share.
(Chorus:)
  Christ to minister is service
  Both to God and others too,
  Christ, the surplus, e'er supplying,
  Off'ring Him as service true.
4. Holding Christ, as members growing,
  Each his function must observe;
  Christ receiving, Christ partaking,
  To His Body Christ we serve.
5. Fellowship and testimony,
  Ministry and worship too,
  In all helps and ministrations
  Christ is all our service true.
(Chorus:)
  Christ to minister is service
  Both to God and others too,
  Christ, the surplus, e'er supplying,
  Off'ring Him as service true.
