Except the Lord conduct the plan,&lt;br&gt;<br /> The best concerted schemes are vain,&lt;br&gt;<br /> And never can succeed,&lt;br&gt;<br /> We spend our wretched strength for nought,&lt;br&gt;<br /> But if our works in thee are wrought,&lt;br&gt;<br /> They shall be blest indeed.<br /> <br /> 2. Lord if thou didst thyself inspire&lt;br&gt;<br /> Our souls with this intense desire,&lt;br&gt;<br /> Thy goodness to proclaim;&lt;br&gt;<br /> Thy glory if we now intend,&lt;br&gt;<br /> O let our deeds begin and end&lt;br&gt;<br /> Complete in Jesus's name!<br /> <br /> 3. In Jesus' name behold we meet,&lt;br&gt;<br /> Far from an evil world retreat,&lt;br&gt;<br /> And all its frantic ways;&lt;br&gt;<br /> One only thin resolved to know,&lt;br&gt;<br /> And square our useful lives below,&lt;br&gt;<br /> By reason and by grace.<br /> <br /> 4. Not in the tombs we pine to dwell,&lt;br&gt;<br /> Not in the dark monastic cell,&lt;br&gt;<br /> By vows and grates confined,&lt;br&gt;<br /> Freely to all ourselves we give;&lt;br&gt;<br /> Constrained by Jesus' love to live&lt;br&gt;<br /> The servants of mankind.<br /> <br /> 5. Now, Jesus, now thy love impart,&lt;br&gt;<br /> To govern each devoted heart,&lt;br&gt;<br /> And fit us for thy will!&lt;br&gt;<br /> Deep founded in the truth of grace,&lt;br&gt;<br /> Build up thy rising church, and place&lt;br&gt;<br /> The city on the hill.<br /> <br /> 6. O let our love and faith abound!&lt;br&gt;<br /> O let our lives to all around&lt;br&gt;<br /> With purest lustre shine:&lt;br&gt;<br /> That all around our works may see,&lt;br&gt;<br /> And give the glory, Lord, to thee!&lt;br&gt;<br /> The heavenly light divine.<br /> <br /> [[category:Hymns]]<br /> [[category:Lyrics]]<br /> [[category:Public Domain]]<br /> [[category:Public Domain Lyrics]]<br /> [[category:English Lyrics]]<br /> [[category:British English Lyrics]]<br /> [[category:8 8 6 8 8 6]]</div>
