A single, steady aim,

Unmoved by threatening or reward,
To thee and thy great name;

A zealous, just concern
For thine immortal praise;

A pure desire that all may learn,
And glorify thy grace.

5 I rest upon thy word;

The promise is for me;

My succor and salvation, Lord,
Shall surely come from thee:
But let me still abide,
Nor from my hope remove,
Till thou my patient spirit guide
Into thy perfect love.
