I strive each action to approve

Verse 1

I strive each action to approve To God's all-seeing eye; No danger shall my hopes remove, Because He still is nigh.

Verse 2

Therefore my heart all grief defies, my Glory does rejoice; My flesh shall rest, in hopes to rise, Wak'd by his pow'rful voice.

Verse 3

Thou, Lord, when I resign my breath, My soul from hell shalt free; Nor let thy holy one in death The least corruption see.

Verse 4

Thou shalt the paths of life display, Which to thy presence lead; Where pleasures dwell without allay, and joys that never fade.
