210. Now I resolve, with all my heart

1 Now I resolve, with all my heart,
With all my power to serve the Lord;
Nor from His ways will I depart,
Whose service is a rich reward.

2 Oh, be this service all my joy!
Around let my example shine,
Till others love the blest employ,
And join in labors so divine.

3 Be this the purpose of my soul,
My solemn, my determined choice,
To yield to His supreme control,
And in His kind commands rejoice.

4 Oh, may I never faint nor tire,
Nor, wand'ring leave His sacred ways:
Great God! accept my soul's desire,
And give my strength to live Thy praise.
