Full Text

1 Now 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.

2 O be His 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 O 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.

The Hymnal: Published by the authority of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A., 1895
