10RD, in the fullness of my might, j I would not with swift- winged zeal J I would for thee be strong ; ! On the world's errands go ; While runneth o'er each dear delight, ! And labour up the heavenly hill To thee should soar my song. I With weary feet and slow.
��I would not give the world my heart, And then profess thy love ;
I would not feel my strength depart. And then thy service prove.
��Oh not for thee my weak desires, My poorer, baser part !
Oh not for thee my fading fires, The ashes of my heart !
��Oh choose me in my golden time. In my dear joys have part !
For thee the glory of my prime, The fullness of my heart !
I cannot, Lord, too early take
The covenant divine : Oh ne'er the happy heart may break,
Whose earliest love was thine !
