This Be My Praise

How shal I praise Him?
I shall sing as I go,
Grateful for blessings
That Love doth bestow;

How may I serve Him?
By striving to grow
More Christlike, forgiving;
To prove that I know

No matter how dreary
The way—Love will guide,
And for each honest effort
A staff will provide.

Lord, this be my praise—
To truth I shall cling,
Forsaking the wrong,
Ever ready to bring

Some cheer to the saddened,
Some joy by the way
To those who are needing
What I have today;

And this be my service—
By my living to prove
Thy Word is the lamp
That before me doth move.
