[Not as a formal task to Thee]

In the evening, and morning, and at noon-day, &c. —lv. 18.

Not as a formal task to Thee
My tale of words I pay,
But feeling my own poverty
I every hour would pray;
Would always pray, and never faint,
Till, wholly sanctified,
Thou take me up, a sinless saint,
And seat me by Thy side.
