ASPIRATION.
Mihi enim vivendo Christus est, et moriende lucrum.—Phii i. 21.
Grant me, Heavenly Lord, to feel
In Thy cause a servant's zeal.
More than all to self most near,
May I hold Thine honour dear;
Willing to forego my pride,
So my Lord be glorified.
In Thy cause a servant's zeal.
More than all to self most near,
May I hold Thine honour dear;
Willing to forego my pride,
So my Lord be glorified.
In the conquests of Thy might
May I loyally delight;
In Thy ever-spreading reign
Triumph as my greatest gain.
Make me conscious by this sign,
Saviour! Sovereign! I am thine.
