God made me for Himself

- God made me for Himself, to serve Him here,
- with love‟s pure service and in filial fear;
- to show His praise, for Him to labour now;
- then see His glory where the angels bow.
- All needful grace was mine through His dear Son,
- whose life and death my full salvation won;
- the grace that would have strengthened me, and taught;
- grace that would crown me when my work was wrought.
- And I, poor sinner, cast it all away;
- lived for the toil or pleasure of each day;
- as if no Christ had shed His precious blood,
- as if I owed no homage to my God.
- O Holy Spirit, with Thy fire divine,
- melt into tears this thankless heart of mine;
- teach me to love what once I seemed to hate,
- and live to God before it be too late
