1. Great God, we've vowed to do your will;
In wisdom your work we'll fulfill
For then we know we'll have a part
In making glad your loving heart

2. Your slave, your steward here on earth
Proclaims your greatness and your worth
Feeds us with nourishment when due
Thus strengthens us your will to do

3. Impart to us your active force
That we may keep a faithful course
And bring forth fruitage to your praise
And thus make glad your heart always
