To love someone more dearly every day
To help a wandering child to find his way
To ponder o'er a noble thought and pray (Ponder and pray)
And smile when evening falls
And smile when evening falls
This is my task

To follow truth as blind men long for light
To do my best from dawn of day till night
To keep my heart fit for His holy sight
And answer when He calls
And answer when He calls
This is my task

And then my Savior by and by to meet
When faith hath made her task on Earth complete
And lay my homage at the Master's feet
Within the jasper walls
Within the jasper walls
This is my task
This is my task
