Indulged with various means,
The good attained how small!
Perfection I would humbly seek,
But oh how short I fall!
Yet will I run and strive,
Still pressing to the goal;
Nor be contented with a part,
Till I possess the whole.
The mark at which I aim,
Is likeness to my Lord;
Till that’s attained I’m not at rest,
I’m only on the road.
Oh thou eternal Source
Of light and strength divine,
Quicken by efficacious grace
This sluggish soul of mine.
