Gird up your loins, ye saints, prepare
To run the heavenly race;
Pursue your course in Jesus’ name,
Depending on his grace.
Rest not in present good attained,
But still be pressing on,
‘Till you the distant mark have reached,
The palm of victory won.
Let erring creatures smile or frown,
Or censure or applaud;
be it your first and chief concern,
To be approved of God.
For him your active powers exert,
From whom they all proceed;
Consult the honour of his name,
In word and thought and deed.
Oh may his love our souls inspire,
His grace be ever nigh;
Then we will run with warmer zeal,
And end our course with joy.
