|
<p>How blessèd, from the bonds of sin<br>
|
|
And earthly fetters free,<br>
|
|
In singleness of heart and aim,<br>
|
|
Thy servant, Lord, to be;<br>
|
|
The hardest toil to undertake<br>
|
|
With joy at Thy command,<br>
|
|
The meanest office to receive<br>
|
|
With meekness at Thy hand.</p>
|
|
<p>With willing heart and longing eyes<br>
|
|
To watch before Thy gate,<br>
|
|
Ready to run the weary race,<br>
|
|
To bear the heavy weight;<br>
|
|
No voice of thunder to expect,<br>
|
|
But follow calm and still;<br>
|
|
For love can easily divine<br>
|
|
The One Belovèd’s will.</p>
|
|
<p>Thus may I serve Thee, gracious Lord;<br>
|
|
Thus ever Thine alone,<br>
|
|
My soul and body given to Thee,<br>
|
|
The purchase Thou hast won;<br>
|
|
Through evil or through good report<br>
|
|
Still keeping by Thy side;<br>
|
|
And by my life or by my death<br>
|
|
Let Christ be magnified.</p>
|
|
<p>How happily the working days<br>
|
|
In this dear service fly,<br>
|
|
How rapidly the closing hour,<br>
|
|
The time of rest, draws nigh,<br>
|
|
When all the faithful gather home,<br>
|
|
A joyful company;<br>
|
|
And ever where the Master is<br>
|
|
Shall His blest servants be.</p>
