Now [May] I resolve with all my heart

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
