Now I Resolve with All My Heart

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.

O be His serv­ice all my joy;

Around let my ex­am­ple shine

Till oth­ers love the best em­ploy

And join in la­bors so di­vine.

Be this the pur­pose of my soul

My solemn

my de­ter­mined choice

To yield to His su­preme con­trol

And in His kind com­mands re­joice.

O may I nev­er faint nor tire

Nor wan­der­ing leave His sac­red ways;

Great God

ac­cept my soul’s de­sire

And give me strength to live Thy praise.
