I’ll try to prove faith­ful, dear Sav­ior,
Thy pre­cepts to love and obey,
And ear­nest­ly seek in Thy vine­yard,
To la­bor while yet there is day;
The blood of Thy pre­cious atone­ment
Doth cleanse even sin­ners like me,
So I’ll try to prove faith­ful, dear Sav­ior,
I’ll try to prove faith­ful to Thee.

I’ll try to prove faith­ful, dear Sav­ior,
And shun the temp­ta­tions of sin,
For vain are its gild­ed al­lure­ments,
When ho­ly peace dwell­eth with­in;
The pow­er of Thy life giv­ing Spir­it,
My bul­wark and fort­ress shall be,
And I’ll try to prove faith­ful, dear Sav­ior,
I’ll try to prove faith­ful to Thee.

I’ll try to prove faith­ful, dear Sav­ior,
Tho’ sha­dows my way ov­er­cast;
Life’s tri­als are but for a moment—
Thy hea­ven for­ev­er shall last;
There dwell­ing in glo­ry su­per­nal,
My home with the an­gels shall be;
So I’ll try to prove faith­ful, dear Sav­ior,
I’ll try to prove faith­ful to Thee.
