God grant me these: the strength to do

Some needed service here;

The wisdom to be brave and true;

The gift of vision clear,

That in each task that comes to me

Some purpose I may plainly see.

God teach me to believe that I

Am stationed at a post,

Although the humblest 'neath the sky,

Where I am needed most.

And that, at last, if I do well

My humble services will tell.

God grant me faith to stand on guard,

Uncheered, unspoke, alone,

And see behind such duty hard

My service to the throne.

Whate'er my task, be this my creed:

I am on earth to fill a need.
