Verse 1

Lord, as we Thy name profess, May our hearts Thy love confess; And in all our praise of Thee May our lips and lives agree.

Make us resolute to do What Thou showest to be true; Make us hate and shun the ill, Loyal to Thy holy will.

Verse 3

May Thy yoke be meekly worn, May Thy cross be bravely borne; Make us patient, gentle, kind, Pure in life and heart and mind.

Gracious Savior, heav’nly Friend, On Thy grace our souls depend; Let that grace our needs supply While we live and when we die.
