A¤far from all the world a¤part,
With¤in the tem¤ple of my heart,
I wor¤ship God,
My feet shall fol¤low all the way,
My Sav¤iour trod till end¤less day,
Breaks on my view.

With prayers and fast¤ings day and night,
To serve Him now my chief de¤light,
My sole em¤ploy,
For one un¤wor¤thy it is meet,
That I should fall and kiss His feet,
And weep for joy.

He gave His all so will¤ing¤ly,
He sac¤ri¤ficed His life for me,
That I might live,
My eve¤ry ran¤somed power I bring
To hon¤our and to serve my King,
My life I give.

From Him I nev¤er shall de¤part,
His love has sealed me on His heart,
For ev¤er¤more,
O, bless¤ed joy when I shall see
His face and serve e¤ter¤nal¤ly,
His will a¤dore.

O serv¤ice true for ev¤er blest,
To cease from self in God to rest,
And let His will,
Ac¤com¤plish all His work be¤gun,
Un¤til the im¤age of His Son,
My soul shall bear.

With prayers and fast¤ings I shall serve,
And from His serv¤ice nev¤er swerve,
Sus¤tained by grace,
My high¤est joy to give my all,
Till with a¤dor¤ing hosts I fall,
Be¤fore His face.
