1 I will toil for Thee,
For in love to me,
Thou didst bear the cross of shame;
I will praise my Lord,
And will keep His word,
Singing glory to His name.

Chorus:
Glory, glory,
Glory to the Saviour,
All proclaim;
Glory, glory,
Glory to the Saviour,
Praise His name.

2 I will work today,
Thy commands obey,
Doing all Thy will demands;
In the sunny hours,
Gather fruits and flow’rs,
Praising Thee with heart and hands. [Chorus]

3 I will watch and pray,
That I may not stray
From the path that Thou hast giv’n,
All Thy holy will,
In my life fulfill,
As I journey home to heav’n. [Chorus]
