I will work as I ought to work
In the vine­yard from day to day;
I will pray as I ought to pray,
Ere the har­vest has passed away.

Refrain

Blessèd Lord, help me thus to do,
For my strength is in Thee alone;
Help me be what I ought to be,
All my life, ev­er­more Thine own.

I will watch as I ought to watch,
Lest I en­ter the paths of sin;
I will say what I ought to say
Of the wit­ness I have with­in.

Refrain

I will give as I ought to give
Of my tal­ents and earth­ly store;
I will live as I ought to live,
Till the jour­ney of life is o’er.

Refrain

I will trust as I ought to trust
In the blood flow­ing full and free;
I will do what I ought to do
For my Sav­ior who died for me.
