'T is God's own Spirit leads
In paths before unknown;
The work to be performed is ours,
The strength is all his own.

2

Supported by his grace,
We still pursue our way,
And hope at last to reach the prize,
Secure in endless day.

3

'T is he that works to will,
'T is he that works to do;
His is the power by which we act,
His be the glory too.
