Although the humblest 'neath the sky,

Where I am needed most,

And that, at last, if I do well,

My humble services will tell.

God grant me faith to stand on guard,

Uncheered, unspoke, alone,

And see behind such duty hard

My service to the throne.

Whate'er my task, be this my creed:

I am on earth to fill a need.
