- 1Now I resolve with all my heart,
- With all my powers, to serve the Lord;
- Nor from His precepts e'er depart
- Whose service is a rich reward.
- 2O be His service all my joy;
- Around let my example shine,
- Till others love the blest employ,
- And join in labors so Divine.
- 3Be this the purpose of my soul,
- My solemn, my determined choice,
- To yield to His supreme control,
- And in His kind commands rejoice.
- 4O may I never faint nor tire,
- Now wandering leave His sacred ways:
- Great God, accept my soul's desire,
- And give my strength to live Thy praise.
