May I so live and move and be
A fitting vessel Lord for Thee.
That Thou canst use me here and
there A help indeed to answered
prayer. May I so run this earthly
race. That men may know thy saving
grace. May love and faith complete in me
Some pattern Lord that looks like Thee.
And as the watchful angels know
The path I take and where I go,
May I so walk and work the while
Thus proving worthy of their smile.
And may I never be them cause Of
men to mock and sneer thy laws,
Or lead a child of thine astray
Because at times I leave thy way.
Thou wilt not look or dwell where
sin Is cherished carefully within.
So may I clean my temple part
For thou dost read into each heart.
We need thy presence when we meet
The wine to drink the bread to eat,
Until our Lord returns again.
So help us all I pray. Amen.
