Life is a privilege undeserved,

Sin has warped our view of all;

Hold fast, soldier, do not swerve,

From the path, the upward call.

We have union with our God,

For the blood of Christ prevails;

Bright communion, bottomless, broad,

Love from Him, it cannot fail.

Let us then look unto Jesus,

Clinging firmly as He guides;

Through bleak gales or tranquil breezes,

In our Saviour's Word, abide.
