Here on earth a while to la¤bour
Bear¤ing His re¤proach and scorn,
Look¤ing for His blest ap¤pear¤ing,
Bright will be that hap¤py morn,
When this mor¤tal life is end¤ed,
Our ap¤point¤ed task is done,
Then re¤splend¤ent with His glo¤ry,
We shall shine forth as the sun.

Gen¤tle Spir¤it, still pos¤sess¤ing,
Do not now with¤draw the flame,
Lend Thine aid that, still pur¤su¤ing,
I may glo¤ri¤fy His name,
Run the earth¤ly race with pa¤tience,
Keep the faith and win the Crown,
Show¤ing forth the Mas¤ter’s prais¤es,
Till I lay my ar¤mour down.
