SERVANTS OF JESUS

(Tune: Living For Jesus")
Servants of Jesus, your lives have
been true,
Striving to please Him was always the
rule,
Yielding allegiance, wholehearted and
Such was your motto, now blessing
on We.
Servants of Jesus, all down thru these
years
They have been serving, not looking
for cheers.
Twas love that constrained them to
answer the call,
Follow His leading and give Him their
all.
Servants of Jesus, life's evening draws
When you will leave US for mansions
on high.
And when you meet Him in Heavens
He'll crown and bless you for answer
ing His call.
Chorus:-
o Jesus, Lord and Master, they gave
their lives for Thee,
For Thou in the Atonement didst die
to make them free.
They owned no other Master, their
hearts have been Thy throne,
They gave their lives, these years to
live,
o Christ, for Thee alone.
Adapted by the Rev. Samuel D. Sigler.
The familiar saying, "Give flowers
to the living, don't wait till they have
passed away" was foremost in the
mind of Rev. Samuel D. Sigler, pastor
of the Lutheran church here in Grants
vile on Sunday morning, May 7, when
he delivered an appreciative sermon IN
honor of the untiring service and
steadfast loyalty of the older members
of the congregation. 1t was at this
time, too, that the poem, Servants of
Jesus" which heads this column, writ
ten by Reverend Sigler and set to the
music of that beloved hymn, Living
for Jesus" was sung by the choir. This
is an embodiment Of what was brought
out in the course of the sermon. The
Reverend Sigler is now serving his
fourteenth year as pastor of the local
Lutheran church.

Elementary school presented the pro-
