1 O God, our faithful God,
O fountain ever flowing,
Without whom nothing is,
All perfect gifts bestowing,
Grant us a faithful life,
And give us, Lord, within,
Commitment free from strife,
A soul unhurt by sin.
2 God, grant us strength to do
With ready heart and willing,
Whatever You command,
Our calling here fulfilling;
And do it when we ought,
With zeal and joyfulness;
And bless the work we’ve wrought,
For You must give success.
3 If dangers gather round,
Still keep us calm and fearless;
Help us to bear the cross
When life is bleek and cheerless,
To overcome our foes
With words and actions kind;
O God, Your will disclose,
Your counsel let us find.
