Though the work of life be low­ly,
Let me true and faith­ful be;
This the thought that makes it ho­ly—
Christ has set the task for me.

Refrain

He has set the task for me!
He has set the task for me!
This the thought that makes it ho­ly—
Christ has set the task for me!

Hush, O heart, thy wild am­bi­tion!
Toil, O hands, in ser­vice free!
Blest in­deed is my con­di­tion—
Christ has set the task for me.

Refrain

Christ, I know, will not for­get me
When at length the ev­en­ing falls;
From the place where He has set me
I will an­swer when He calls.
