Verse 1
Prosper, for our Redeemer’s sake,
What in his name we undertake,
Who our appointed task fulfil,
And serve thy providential will.

Verse 2
The gift thou hast on us bestow’d,
Productive of our needful food,
As a sure token of thy grace,
We use it to the Giver’s praise.

Verse 3
And if we lawfully pursue
What thou commandest us to do,
Let it thy approbation meet,
Or else our surest hopes defeat.

Verse 4
A thousand ways thou can’st prevent
The deed that hath not thy consent;
And O! forbid it to be done,
If ours, O Lord, is ours alone.
