To love someone more dearly ev’ry day

To help a wand’ring child to find his way

To ponder o’er a noble tho’t and pray

And smile when evening falls

And smile when evening falls

This is my task

To follow truth as blind men long for light

To do my best from dawn of day till night

To keep my heart fit for His holy sight

And answer when He calls

And answer when He calls

This is my task
