USEFUL ACCORDING TO GOD'S WILL
Let me not die before I've done for thee
My earthly work, whatever it may be;
Call me not hence with mission unfulfilled;
Let me not leave my space of ground untilled;
Impress this truth upon me, that not one
Can do my portion that I leave undone.
Then give me strength all faithfully to toil,
