To every service I can pay,
And call it my supreme delight
To hear Thy counsels and obey.
2 What is my being but for Thee,
Its sure support, its noblest end?
'Tis my delight Thy face to see,
And service the cause of such a Friend.
3 I would not sigh for worldly joy,
Or to increase my worldly good;
Nor future days nor powers employ
To spread a sounding name abroad.
4 To Christ my Saviour I would live,
To Him who for my ransom died;
Nor could all worldly honour give
Such bliss as crowns me at His side.
5 His work my hoary age shall bless,
When youthful vigour is no more;
And my last hour of life confess
His dying love, His saving power. Used With Tune: LASUS
